Okay, forget all the current rules of our planet financially.....?

yeah I feel you. I get frustrated with trying to get by all the time, just like my whole family does really. While I know that there are rich "fatcats" out there that will stay rich, even through such a depression, at least relatively rich. I wouldn't mind going back to some basic society at times, sort of like the one dreamed of in Fight Club. But ultimately, I think the society will be fine, there is just too much panic in the media. As I understand the "economy" cannot simply crash because of the stock markets. This country is a powerhouse of production worldwide, and we can't forget that. We are still growing in terms of economy every year in fact, we produce more all the time. The only problem is that the rate at which we grow has been receding, hence the term "recession". This doesn't mean that our country is literally shrinking in money or power, but that we simply aren't growing like we think we should. So fantastically speaking, yeah I wouldn't mind some sort of anarchist/agricultural apocalypse in the U.S., but realistically speaking its just business as usual, minus extravagant real estate deals.
