If he sees his shadow will than mean 6 more weeks of doom and gloom ?

The problem is that the minute to jumps back on this forum, I'm going to add his debt to my signature line.

He owes me $50 if oil doesn't cross $200/barrel by the end of the year and another $50 if electricity prices don't increase by 15% between March 2008 and March 2009.

Ayoob is also on the hook for $50 if oil doesn't cross $200/barrel by the end of the year but he's a decent enough guy to stick around. 8)

This isn't Bunker Time for Rocco, it's Avoid-The-Obnoxious-Debt-Collector Time.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '.')..The Titanic didn't sink immediately after it hit the iceberg, it had to take on enough water before it sank.

For the record, it went under in just two hours and forty minutes.

How many times did rocc run around in circles screaming that the sky was falling? I lost count. We're up to our necks in crude oil. Civilization will continue, but in a not-quite-so-absurdly affluent fashion. We'll chug along, poorer but no wiser, for the foreseeable future.

Got bunker?

Why?

wow. you are seriously "into it".

how do you defend the breathing holes ? seems like a good application for video surveillance. when undesirables breach your perimeter, your countermeasures go into play.

got any plans for perimeter defense, besides guns ? pits filled with rattlesnakes & scorpions & Jehovah's witnesses ?

No point - Roc took his worst enemy right there with him into the bunker. Well-armed, too, from what I heard.

For those of you in the bunker since "Bunker Time" was declared last year, don't forget to do your spring bunker cleaning. Less than 3 weeks until Summer. :idea:

My personal call for economic doom was sometime this summer, based loosely on predictions by GEAB, Marc Faber, Karl Denninger, Mike Shedlock, and watching the Treasury market. Looks like a bit of a bounce in the dollar today, but we also have a paper released from the Fed saying that all currency collapses aren't bad.... Wonder why that is? I don't think it's a good idea to call for bunker time, but it is good to have it at the ready just now.

Quote: " Abstract: Sharp exchange rate depreciations, or currency crashes, are associated with poor economic outcomes in industrial countries only when they are caused by inflationary macroeconomic policies. Moreover, the poor outcomes are attributable to inflationary policies in general and not the currency crashes in particular. On the other hand, crashes caused by rising unemployment or external deficits have always had good economic consequences with stable or falling inflation rates. "

All that believe this, stand on your head and wiggle your ears, okay?

This kind of stuff (what you're pointing out patience, not the fact that you're posting it) reminds me of 'the newspapers' in Atlas Shrugged, with their tacit confirmations of various events by means of their strident denials of them, and their incessant yammering about how 'deprivation is good for you, it builds character!' as the world is falling apart around everyone's ears. Interesting that apparently that novel has seen a resurgence in popularity lately. Seems Rand may have been rather prescient in some regards...

Probably delusional thoughts (I must state here that I *AM* a bit biased toward PO.com :lol:):
1) There WAS a complete paperwork breakdown; assorted sizes of bandaids are keeping the hemoraging(sp?) to a small stream until more unassailable procedures are put into place.
2) There are a lot more people reading blogs like PeakOil.com, and they used the info, as best they could, to mitigate problems because they can't, easily, think outside the box.
3) The government and the business community have morphed into something so unrecognizable that no-one actually knows what's up.

I got to say, I know it's bad in most parts of the U.S. but if you looked around here (Vancouver, BC) you would barely know there was a recession. Stores, malls, restaurants, bars all full. Car and Home sales are up.
I think it's just delayed a bit hitting this area but for now everything seems just fine.

It seems like the revenge of the S&L crisis IMO. Same shiz, similar dance dance, just a little bit farther down the line because Dubbya transferred hundreds of FBI agents investigating white collar crime to anti-terrorism duties, and replaced them w/ absolutely nothing. Not that the FBI didn't warn about widespread mortgage fraud, just that it seems they were handicapped this time around and the regulatory agencies were out to lunch while the ratings were faked w/ the best of 'em.

I've seen this bunker joke a number of times.

Did Rocc *literally* say he was off to a bunker / doomstead?

(i know he started this thread, I'm just wondering if when he left he told folks he was literally headin for the hills)

The recession and financial collapse have destroyed the core of the manufacturing industry in the US.

My company has made brutal cuts in both people and benefits. We are now reducing heating, cooling and lighting. A two year pay and hiring
freeze are now in effect.

Bunker time will be when the Gov. can no longer support and expand Section 8 and food stamps. There will not be enough decent paying jobs to allow the masses live a comfortable life.

The zombies will pour from the cities taking what they feel they are entitled to. The SWHTF. BUNKER TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
