    Europe is going to go for the “nuclear option” of dumping US debt. Prepare for your dollar to suffer inflation, perhaps super inflation. Me? I’m going to WalMart today to buy some staples because I don’t think my dollar will buy nearly as much by the end of next week.

    Nothing drastic, just an extra pack of TP, some OTC drugs and probably some dog food. I’m pretty set up for apocalyptic bullshit already. But fellow residents: get ready.

    edit: TACO, no dumping of US debt. I missed that one.

      I thought you meant actual staples… like for your stapler, and I was like, “Ok, you do you. Who am I to judge how someone prepares for the apocalypse?”

        How now brown cow? It started today. We will see if it’s my prediction or yours that bears out in the next few days.

          Yeah, indeed. Fwiw I hope you’re right. Although I don’t think this process is going to take just a few days, even at the rate things have been going the last few years that’s too fast.
