This is borrowing trouble, wasting your life, and pointless. Live day by day. Love who you can and get loved in return where you can find it. Build your life and resources but don't spend too much time on this kind of thing.
I was busy responding to this when Cindy dropped the big hammer and my post went off to La-La land. I was going to say that I agree with Victoria's statement above, life's too short to get so worked up over things we have no control over, it's best to take a pragmatic attitude and enjoy our lives such as they are,

I'm going to cause friction with this statement but I'll say definitively that fear based political leanings lead to this kind of scarcity/end of world/societal collapse fear with no historical precedent to point to whereby they can show that societal collapse in the modern world is possible.
True, there has been no historical precedent set thus far, but there has never been a nation of such coddled, spoiled and entitled people with 47% dependent on the government for their survival. I suppose the question really is what will happen when the big bubble pops? Perhaps we will then present a new model that will horrify and appall the rest of the world. We do have all the elements in place and I suppose that's why Homeland Security is buying so many armored vehicles, equipping a paramilitary army and buying millions of rounds of ammo. Once again, don't worry, be happy because it's all outside of our control and it's incumbent on us to have a cool head and maintain a civil and peaceful disposition toward one another because peace begins with each of us individually.
