The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

This is also my first post. I'm Jane and live in Kentucky. I'm concerned about how we will manage to live peacefully in an era of shortages of almost all commodities. I have served in Peace Corps twice, and know what it is like not to have all the conveniences. It isn't as bad as a lot of Americans think.

New in town

Unread postby lilmissus » Fri 09 Oct 2009, 12:54:57

Hi all,

I found my way to this site after reading The Long Emergency 2 weeks ago. Rather than lurking in the shadows, I thought I'd join. My primary interest is in developing a local food economy and growing as much as I can. I am trying to learn how to be self-sufficient, which is rather a lot to learn.

Thank you for the knowledge you have already shared with me!

So what's your take on peak oil? Read any other books about it?
Are you the local peak oil nutter or is there a few of you there?

I think Peak Oil is real. I fear what will happen to America over the next 10 years. I have watched farmland get plowed into subdivisions and sprawl. When I visit my hometown, I see thousands of acres of orchard lands which have been turned into half-completed subdivisions. At least the housing bubble finally burst.

I an not the lone peak oil nutter in town. I live in a fairly progressive neck of the woods. That said, I probably remind folks at the organic food company where I work a little too much of Cassandra.

My hope is that I can survive the zombie hordes. My urban homestead is on the edges of a neighborhood caught betwixt gentrification and violent decay.

Today (furlough friday), I am pricing rainwater collection barrels and purchasing another fruit tree. We have a local nursery that is dedicated to neighborhood food security.

I also want to work on my 5 year plan. We will need to budget pretty carefully if we hope to rip the concrete out of the yard and develop the land, chicken coop, rabbit hutch, wood stove, etc...

Welcome. May I ask, what prompted you to finally join the discussion? Something where you live or that you read online recently?

Welcome. I hope you and I (and ours) have 5 years. I know that I need at least that much more time. The wife finally gave me permission to get some chickens and goats... Now I just need some money!

So do I, and there aren't many peakers here. Just because people are liberal or educated doesn't mean they will accept the idea that there are limits to growth. I wish it were otherwise, believe me.
