what IS the worst case scenario?

[Dude!]

i don't know enough about economics
to answer this

when the tv guys and govt officials
say 'we have to do this or that or there will be a total market collapse'
what does that mean?

what happens if there is a 'total collapse'?
and what is a "total collapse"?
will we all have to grow our own food?
will all city dwellers die?

what are the scenarios
if there is a 'total market collapse'

I was talking about this with a friend at work yesterday.

I came to the conclusion that we're gonna' probably end up between the 30's and needing to have a gun.

Worst case scenario? You better have a fuckin' gun.

A total market collapse will result in a total eclipse of the heart.

Can anyone see my post above (post #5)? How come it looks all screwy to me? There's no edit or quote button. I can't even try to fix it. I think the infrastructure is starting to collapse! It's the beginning of the end, people!

Seriously, can someone help me out here?

Until that wall is torn down, this country will always be divided.

The worst case is that the country remains the same and we stay comfortable with this mediocre economy and as soon as complacency fully sets in, we are taken over by Canada.

Dont worry Obama has it all under control. After his tax hikes fail, he'll have more money printed. The price of gold is over 1000$ an ounce now.

keep believing that, if there's one thing to be sure of in the case of total economic collapse gold will retain its value as well as money because humans require 3 liters of gold every day

protip if you stop listening to truther propaganda the most important item in a theoretical post-apocalyptic world is water, land, shelter and guns. About dead last is gold since it's largely a worthless item unless there is at least some form of functioning government above that of a military junta

gold is intrinsically linked to currency, if one collapses the other will follow suit

So what you're saying is that if the dollar loses value then so will gold? So wrong, historically wrong. One good example is when the fed was created there was a ban placed on trading gold because of their direct link and the fact that there was fear that people thought the banks were going to screw them so they would invest in gold.

Second, you glazed right over the printing of money as a temporary solution to a devastated economy, which would be disastrous, and has already been offered by our treasury secretary.

That's not what he said. He was talking about worst case scenario where currencies collapse, not just lose value. If things are so catastrophic that money has totally collapsed, gold probably isn't gonna be worth shit.

Gold has intrinsic value... it'll alway be worth something

Gold has intrinsic value... it'll alway be worth something

that is not true at all. since it does not back anything anymore, it can in turn become worthless. You can not build houses or do anything with the actual metal itself

[Dude!]

i guess in a real doomsday scenario
the currency would be bartering food and basic necessities
or stealing them

i'm hoping it doesn't come to that

Those of us on the coast will be fine. We can put our backs to the ocean and defend ourselves. It's the mid-western folk who'll be truly fucked; attacks from all sides and so forth. Besides when it all comes crashing down, I'll have enough video game experience (Fallout 3) to defend against marauders.

The way out, if necessary, is the ocean. Head across the pond to Europe, or wherever. Besides, they'll ship us food: we'd have New York, Boston, D.C.: all could be of value.

Go ahead dude, hit the ocean. They have zombies in England.
