R u speaking of America?

I feel it over here in Australia. All countries are economically interconnected. We don't realise how much so, and whatever happens in America has huge ramifications for every other country on the globe. People are panicing everywhere, because of what is happening in the USA. Here, the dollar plummeted, people who are in debt are really concerned, people are worried that their superannuations will reduce to nothing, and worried that they can't keep their jobs or homes.

What you can do?

Probably start to keep a stash of non perishables like nuts, canned fruit, canned beans, rice, bottled water, dark chocolate.

Make sure all your bank deposits are ensured.

Do not buy anything you don't need.

If you are in a good secure job, don't move.

I'm sure there are lots of other suggestions people have here.

Oh, and don't panic!

I don't think you're being overly dramatic, Molly. I'm very worried as well. So many things are coming together for a perfect storm. It doesn't matter who gets in now; it's too late to stop the coming financial tsunami. What worried me is what goes along with that tsunami. I know people who I don't talk to this stuff about, people who don't pay one bit of attention to what's going on who are nervous enough to start hoarding food. THAT makes me nervous. When people who never cared before are starting to sit up and take notice it's pretty bad.

Obey the law:Never eat meat.
Obey the law:Never draw blood.

Thats all there is too it. No need to worry.

You do live on Dr. MOreau's Island with the rest of us,dont you?
