You know what makes you feel good about the impending doom of the future? A Garden, guns and ammo, land, and family.
The car thing is a hobby. Surviving is Life. Life is about survival. I am prepared for most anything so there is a small part of me that hopes EVERYTHING goes to ****.
If the balloon popped today, we have a garden that can feed our family, a 6000 gallon tank with well, a plenty of guns and ammo to use or barter, tools, land (live on a Natl. Forest adjacent to the Wilderness), neighbors (2 miles away) have plenty of horses, ....
When I move to Texas, we'll be even more resilient. Bigger garden, cow, goats, chickens, pig, own horses.
WITHOUT GETTING POLITICAL, a year out from the next presidential election will see an upswing. By then the economy will naturally be getting better due to supply chain easing, time, interest rate hikes and inflation taking the wind out of consumer sales. I think a bad thing that is happening now is that we have incredible inflation but consumers keep buying. I am going to slow down on the car hobby soon. What that means is no new projects not a sell-off.
