Global Debt Bomb to End Civilization As We Know It

Here's an interesting story from MarketWatch.

My favorite part is:

Here's how these savvy Insiders are preparing: In his 2008 best-seller, "Wealth, War and Wisdom," hedge fund manager Barton Biggs, a highly respected Insider in the "Happy Conspiracy," advised rich insiders to expect the "possibility of a breakdown of the civilized infrastructure."

His advice: Make tons of money. Buy an isolated farm in the mountains. Protect family against the barbarians: "Your safe haven must be self-sufficient and capable of growing some kind of food ... It should be well-stocked with seed, fertilizer, canned food, wine, medicine, clothes, etc. Think Swiss Family Robinson."


Here's the link:

    Mike,
    Maybe we should be in the business of buying remote land and setting up just such a place for the "rich" people. I'm willing to bet they have no friggin' clue how to plant a dandelion, much less any food bearing plants given that this article recommends a farm "in the mountains". Unprepared, the mountains are more likely to kill you before civilization's breakdown reaches you.
