[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The end is coming- Try to get out of the cities in the next few months before they become deathtraps (Page 1 of 6)

Posted: 6/9/2010 9:24:57 PM EDT

The economic problems are starting to get worse and worse. Crime rates are going to rise more and more in cities as the ones without seek to take from the ones who have something.

Rising energy costs are going to cripple the American lifestyle. Cities will become deathtraps as food and water supplies skyrocket in prices.

If it does get bad enough, 95% + of city dwellers will die.

Those of you living and working in cities need to work on getting out, at least to the suburbs, in the next 6 months to a year.

In all seriousness, yeah things aren't exactly going really good right now.

I was sure it would not exceed 87%, but you seem to be in the know.

The real lesson of The Boy Who Cried Wolf is not "Don't lie" it's "Never tell the same lie twice." Damn good sentiment, and a free internet to anyone who can name its originator.

What, specifically, are these? I've lived in the country my whole life and afaik, we don't have any skills that are exclusive to country people. We usually realize that food doesn't magically appear in the grocery store, but that's not exactly a secret anyway.

I raised a garden this year for the first time since childhood. If I can grow stuff, anyone can. Visit the "outdoors" section for food and garden or preparedness type info.

Also..I don't have a job "out in the country". I work an hour away from home on stuff completely unrelated to country living.

One thing we all learned from "The Road": Youll probably die before you get to your bunker.

Honestly, had I built a bunker for Y2k, I'd still be using it and showing it off to friends. It would be money well spent

So the job market outlook will get better?

IMHO it is good to be prepared, have plenty of food and water stocked up. Now is good time to be the ant and not the grasshopper. I'm wearing a tinfoil headband at this time, not quite a full wrap. YMMV

Name a city in the last 200 years that has suffered a 95% death rate.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, Leningrad, Stalingrad? Nope.

Name some, even one, please.

I make sure to have a bunch of extra food (canned food, water etc...) on hand just in case of emergencies, but its not like one single event is going to lead to a complete breakdown of society.

Even if money tanked to pretty much zero, things wouldn't go to shit right away. Crime would go up, and emergency services would be WAYYY past their limits, but again, if you take care of yourself and have a BIT of common sense to prepare for bad times, then its not like we're about to get wiped out.
