Food, housing, fuel, utilities are rising...War is constantly playing on every electronic gizmo we're addicted to.

And I'm actually just the same grumpy Noodles I've always been.

I prepped for this time...I've downsized...I'm moving far away from this weirdness of Covid/War Panic, Junk Food, Dirty/Negative/Crime Filled Environment.

I am still amazed at the things happening, but I'm not scared.

Wars, Famines, Acts of God and Pestilense are always happening.

Things will be bad, but it will be okay if you prep.

The "Just in Case" crowd doesn't look so crazy when things go sideways.

I've always done well in bad times...I figure we're reaching the "4th Turning" meaning a slow terrible slide into collapse.

Think of Japan in the 1980's after their crash.

I also think we'll have a bit of a die off due to the Vax, poverty, a breakdown in the social welfare net which will then cause an even LARGER spike in crime. 

But as I've always said  "Tough Times make Tough People."

So I say now what I've been saying for 20 years or so:

1.  Keep pushing forward/Meditate/Pray/Ponder

2.  Execerise/Eat as clean as you can

3.  Get all your medical procedures done now (Teeth, glasses, operations etc)

4.  Read/write/study learn some skills

5.  Give up vices whatever they are

6.  Downsize and pay off everything you owe so when prices rise you're not overly squeezed...Move in with others because you want to not because you need to.

7.  Keep cash on hand

8.  Buy a weapon and ammo...Learn to load, clean and use it.

9.  If you need or want something now or in the future...Buy it now.

10.  Learn to fight or do what I do...Learn to cheat at fighting...There's no second place in fighting learn to gouge, twist fingers, poke, knee to the balls or use your elbow etc...Fights that last too long is how people get hurt...End a fight as quickly as you can and once it's over get the fuck out of there.

I'm actually excited about what's coming...It will be awful...But it will be a rebirth.

I always mention how it might mean dirty, huge cities with sleazy creepy people...Like something out of Robo Cop or Judge Dread or Blade Runner:

So much creativity waiting to explode.

Seriously look at THIS PICTURE and tell me there's not American Cities that look EXACTLY like this:

Is that Philly?
