When what is left of Capitalism finally does collapse, does anyone think a free market system will rise from the ashes?

I certainly don't.

    One thing I would like to point out is that there's a new factor in place which wasn't present during the rise of the Soviet Union or the Third Reich: the Internet. How will this modern medium of communication and exchange impact a revolutionary group that seeks to overthrow the government and establish a dictatorship? Only time will tell...

    Me neither, but not because I don't care, just because there's little I can do about it.

    Everybody is a salesman friend. If you think you aren't one, I've got news for you. you've been peddling a certain lifestyle since you got here. I'm not buying, but some may be.

    Well naturally there's nothing wrong with turning a profit, of course, but at the same time you can't trust a salesman to provide you with fair, accurate, and balanced information. That's all.

    Damn Right! The first repercussion of any regulation that seeks to control commerce in any fashion, is that it ALWAYS creates a free black-market. Doesn't matter what the product is: alcohol, tobacco, firearms, abortions, 48 oz. soda pops, or Liberty. Government will never manage to stop trade all-together, until it kills every last one of us.
    Look at prisons, I've heard from people, that drugs are easier to get IN prison, than out. It doesn't make much sense; but for some reason, that seams to be the way it is. Perhaps there should be more laws against drugs in prison. 8-o

    Shrug; you've already begun developing your products for a free-market. You're way ahead. Congrats.

    If I had done that I would be very proud of myself!

    (This is one website where the idea of making a profit is nothing to be ashamed about.)

    Here's what I actually invested in:

    Be sure to click on the second post to read why.

    And my bug-out bag "refills" automatically:

    The chickens continuously produce eggs and/ or more chickens and the garden continuously produces fruit and vegetables.

    And the smokehouse (when the constuction is completed) will produce ham and bacon from the neighbor's hogs.

    What if he just invested in bug-out bag companies, and is encouraging people to buy their products so that he can make a profit off the whole thing?

    Haha I'm not prepared at all. I'm also not concerned about it. Not because I don't think it's going to happen, mostly because I don't care.

    And I would like to point out that the advice to have a "bug out bag ' did not come fom a survivalist living in Idaho.

    It came from a Wall Street advisor and Forbes contributor.
