How will you fare if the economy collapses

So, in the event of a financial apocalypse, what will China do? My wife and I have actually talked it over, and we guessed they would invade a SE Asian country just to keep the army occupied.

i'll tell you what's not nice though, this effing server

Isn't half of Rio in a post-apocalyptic state already? Favelas of the damned, and all that?

i live in a favela (if someone says they live on a hill on rio, this is what they mean ). it's actually pretty nice. some of the ones i've seen have been quite bad though, wooden/cardboard shacks, no sanitation, no roads, that kind of thing. however, you can't see them all as one, there's an enormous variety. also you can't believe the things you hear about them, most people don't know what they're talking about.

If there's something I learnt from the internet, it's this.

Lets say Greece causes a chain reaction and Europe collapses, then the USA, the Asia and the world economy goes down the toilet, riot begin and governments begin falling apart.

What preparations have you made and how will you survive?

I have a little house on nine acres with a pond and woodlot.

So the preparations are basically the same as for a Zombie Apocalypse?

And just about as likely to happen as well. I'll spend my time planning for the real world, thank you.

I suppose I'll take that offer to join the Shadow-Government and live in Shadow-America in the Shadow-World, which is doing fine, btw.

The army should have their hands full with their own population.

Indeed. The internet is a most wondrous way to spread ignorance and misconception. A worldwide audience awaits any and every stupid and idiotic statement.

Basic emergency planning: have proper seasonal clothes stored away, lots of water, canned food. A contact plan with friends and family. A portable radio with a hand crank for power. If you can afford them and have no qualms about using them, a home alarm system and guns. If you have more money, a diverse portfolio.

If you're concerned about Greeks, zombies, or hyperinflation, but some extra food and water. If nothing happens, donate the extra to Goodwill.

I'm claiming this post so no one can Exhibit A me.

This is only poly. First of all everyone is already ignorant. Second, only a handfull of idiots will ever read your post.
