The Annoyed Man wrote:And speaking of infirm, in the event of a complete and long term social collapse, there are a lot of people like me who are going to probably die much younger than we would otherwise simply because we are dependent upon medications to sustain life. Diabetics are an obvious example. In my own case, there are five medications on which I depend. Two of those can be probably dispensed with as my weight comes down and my diet changes, those are blood pressure meds. One of the meds can probably be dispensed with by replacing it with something naturally grown, and that is pain control because of my back. But, the other two are a real problem. I no longer have a functioning thyroid gland, and I am dependent upon a daily thyroid supplement (which contributes to the difficulty of weight loss). There is no homeopathic alternative of which I am aware. Without a thyroid supplement, I will get sicker and sicker, and I will die much sooner, likely of heart disease. The other medication is intended to prevent an enlarged prostate. Without it, I am subject to crippling urinary tract infections, which in turn require pretty stiff doses of Cipro to knock them down. In fact, without antibiotic treatment, a UTI can easily become systemic and degenerate into sepsis, which is almost universally and rapidly fatal.

This goes back to why I kind of laugh when people say they're hoarding gold/silver for the impending economic collapse.mamabearCali wrote:I have had back pain off nd on here and there.

My plan is to buy hundreds of lbs of green coffee beans and roast them to be bartered for food and supplies... Once the coffee runs out people are going to need their fix and i'll be there for them with my fresh roasted coffee beans.OldCannon wrote: This goes back to why I kind of laugh when people say they're hoarding gold/silver for the impending economic collapse.
Me, I'm going to have a secret warehouse filled with cheap whiskey and vodka, cigarettes, medical supplies, ammunition, and toilet paper. I will be the king of the new survival economy
