A lot of good points.Heres how I see it.Always before we have been used to things falling apart,but only to a certain level.Construction might stop,but there was still agriculture.Or something a person could find.Agriculture and food processing always were there if there wasnt much of anything else.Somehow this kind of kept things going.Now everything is in a mess,more and more unemployed people.So what holds up agriculture?People have to eat and keep buying food.Now the price for gas,electricity,housing,is so high,and so many people are out of work,its going to hurt agriculture and food production because more and more people cant afford to buy food like they did.Next the price of everything is going to go down.So corn,beans,wheat,hogs,cows,chickens,everything goes lower.Depending on how long this happens and when,it will devastate more of the country.It doesnt matter what a bushel of corn costs,the guy buying it doesnt have enough money.Thats a depression.You cant find people to buy your cows and hogs because they are broke.You cant find a job,(already have that)more and more every day loosing their job,then its going to take a while to get things rolling so there are new jobs created,lots of hungry people would like to buy food now,but dont have any money.States are going bankrupt,so there goes food stamps,and finally the government could go bankrupt,and the whole thing collapses.Buying guns and ammo is a good idea.However if it gets to that,there might not even be a USA once its over,and you wont recognize what it looks like if it does survive.It for sure wont be a bunch of fat white guys setting at a computer like we do,griping about how bad we have it when we aint seen bad yet.Also those rifles and shotguns will get replaced quick with AK47s and whatever else is popular and you can get lots of ammo for it.The young,mean,mad,types will be who gets it.It could be a long time before anybody farms again if ever because its probably going to go nuclear in there somewhere.

Today's Featured Article - Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the ... [Read Article]
