What I would like to see disappear in the economic collapse..Have Fun!
I have posted before about the things I am gathering to survive the economic collapse....I had no idea the amount of products I currently depend on in everyday life....and I am sure most of us out there could compile (and probably have compiled) an extensive list of things we've grown accustom to or have a penchant for in order that we have what we need should a shortage occur or hyperinflation prevents us from buying...
But...
I look around and see so many things I wish would just disappear off the face of this earth...and I deeply hope that they do when the depression hits us...we can only be better for it.
I know that the economy will wipe out many things in the selection department..An entire frozen aisle at Walmart dedicated to 200 different ice creams will shrink to a handful of products etc. And this will happen across the board..
That's why I hope the next few items and/or services bow out an never return. The junk that pervades our lives...
Strip malls...tanning salons....designer over priced purses and accessories..Infomercials...Starbucks.. believe it or not..cellphones...and the ugliest shoes in the universe...CROCS !
There are so many things..Maybe you can add yours..
Well, since many will be
Well, since many will be unemployed during the economic collapse we can spend our time doing many positive things.
1. Review all laws that Congress ever passed in order to identify those which are unconstitutional.
2. Clean up some of the trash littered around our towns.
3. Neocons. Yeah, I think it would be nice if some of them would disappear - or at least revise their political views to include obeying the Constitution.
4. Would be good if high gas prices disappeared....
...
What I believe will go with
What I believe will go with the economic collapse are the laws prohibiting the cultivation of hemp and, of course, it's highly cultured cousin sinsemilla.
collectivism for one

I just hope that.
Someday the market will be allowed to tell us what we want and don't want...

What I'd Like To See Disappear
In God We Trust!
What I'd like to see disappear? >>>>> Press #1 for English
" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~
Not what I'd like to see disappear, but what likely to disappear
,in my opinion, are: 1) people's ability to service debt, 2) demand for general goods and services including the demand for food and energy 3)...
I guess what I'd like to see disappear are cosmetic surgeries, breast implants, ridiculous sun glasses and other artificial things that people spend way too much time on.

Hey ya know what I thought was funny...
Yesterday when I signed up with the new site, http://www.campaignforliberty.com/
I was looking too see if my name would roll by, I didn't see it but what I did see and I believe it was up around 400 people at that point if I recall correctly. I saw the name ( Jesse Ventura ), it showed no address though. I kid you not, it simply scrolled by with no address listed "Jesse Ventura". Now I know it could be anyone but notice it shows towns and states. I thought the towns and states where mandatory fields? From what I've seen, it shows everyone else's Town & State. This was JUST "Jesse Ventura"... Just letting us know... "Onward" >>>>
Oh yeh, it just went over 40,000
Added > I'm not gung-ho the body, cuz I get the feeling he is into himself a little more then normal. Overall he is good... I just thought you might like to hear it??

down with 'government run schools' and up with 'free market education,' only this can save the future of our country in the long run.

What would I like to see disappear?
The prevailing attitude that the purpose of life is to accumulate wealth, and the accompanying condescension towards those of us who choose not to play that game. I consider money to be no different than food, water or oxygen; I need all of them to survive, but I don't sit around daydreaming about any of them.
I respect your right to chase dollar signs if that's what makes you happy, and I'll even help defend your hoard against governmental theft. The least you can do in return is to not look down your nose at me for not sharing your obsession.
Feel free to classify your fellow money-hungry drones according to who's "winning" your game, but recognize that some of us choose to not even play, much less try to win. Please place our names in an alternate column, rather than at the bottom of yours.
(Note: This is not a condemnation of capitalism. I'm no Marxist. I understand the inevitability of economic classes in a truly free society. But don't expect me to accept the second-class status you apply to those who play your game and fail. I exist outside your hierarchy.)

Twingtree, is your question for me?
Re my craziness over things that just strike me as so incongruous as to approach complete lack of awareness? For me, using a pick-up truck as a passenger vehicle instead of as a pick-up is just absurd...and then driving that thing at 80 miles an hour up into the mountains to get out into the "wilderness" to ride another stupid contraption that makes incredible noise, stinks, and burns fuel for what? More entertainment? To be one with nature? Please! Or simply to drink in the woods and leave a mess behind?
People can do whatever the heck they want, basically, as far as I'm concerned, but when I see employees of my condo association's landscaping company wearing protective gear--i.e., goggles, headsets, and masks--so they can use machine-powered contraptions that make incredible noise, give you a headache, and make your eyes water--to make the "landscape"--I dunno--pretty? You gotta wonder. Really. Uh, have these folks heard of a rake and broom?
Leaf blowers and snowmobiles! Gotta go! :)
Give me..

I'm not actually...
...referring to your statement and the inefficiencies with which we do our business, but to those misanthropes, the Sierra Club types, who ultimately think humanity is a cancer, and that the world would be better off without us. Better for who? I'm not sure. In any case, I am all for an environmentalism that is about improving human environments, whatever that might mean, but viewing the integrity of the existing ecosystems as more important than human health or happiness is a sickness and one I'd like to see go away.
What..
.. are you on about?
It must be the styrene
migration that leached out of his styrofoam cups that he loves so much, that caused him to be cranky.lol
Yes, yes...
...and the flouride in your water made you retarded. Thank you, Dr. Alex Jones. In any case, people are generally rather more durable than they are given credit for by the hypocondriac, psychosomatic-dominated masses that freak out about "fibromyalgia" and "chronic fatigue syndrome". A bit of styrene (and you don't get too much if you don't reuse the cup) never hurt anyone, unless they were so convinced it would that they created their own symptoms.
