Poll question: Will civilization collapse on Tuesday?
If so, I plan to max out all my credit cards. Might as well have some fun while I can.

7. I'm beginning to hope so

Then you're waaay ahead of the game.

21. Assuming that I can figure out how to grow my own food
The bike is fueled by food and all the food I eat gets transported by something that uses oil.

9. Nah. Interest rates will rise, pleasing the folks who hold our debt, as
well as all lenders.

Those who pay interest? Well, that's what you get, right, buddy?

Interest rates have been low due to low demand, so time to make them rise by dropping credit ratings, instead.

Your corporate masters have many tools to get what they want, which is yours.

14. No
But it should well be collapsing as of ... about yesterday.

I have no idea what it is going to take tea baggers to wake up, since my father is one, but suddenly, after my effervescent, unending and peppered-with-obscenities tirade, I think he finally got it. I didn't let him talk for 5 minutes, and pointed out WHO was the bunch playing chicken.

Our country is so screwed up. It's so sad.
