Hordes?
Me thinks someone either watches to much TV or is just hoping.
I think many here will be surprised at the resilience of Americans.
And humans in general...

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

I was in France in November, driving in the countryside near Carcassonne. We stopped off at 1100am for a coffee in a small village. There were about 6 or 7 able bodied men in there sipping wine and having a laugh. It seemed very pleasant to be unemployed in France. It was a deciding factor in me purchasing a house over there. Purchase goes through on 20th February.
Its only a bit more debt ahhahhahahahahahahaha.

Amen, brother. I've mentioned this before, you're the only other person I've seen make the connection.
As if it's just by COINCIDENCE that bankruptcy law was tightened up just before TSHTF. Ya, right. And I'm still mad at Joe Biden for being behind that behind the bankruptcy bill.

What drives them to suicide is the embarrasment and humility of being poor. Are society is so concieted and as we are raised, most parents promote fitting in with your classmates. I have hope that as more and more people hit the bottom, they will unite for a better life.

For that to happen we all need to engage more in the Sharing Economy.

If you feel that lending practices should favor the borrower so much, then you should be happy about this.
