Surviving during Teotwaki Was speaking with a DOT official , he mentioned that as things go from bad to worse they expect the Feds to pump in 100 billion to the States for highway and improvement works.Kinda makes sense to me. So if you have some related skills or know someone and are a blue collar honest workman might want to edge in before the crowd. Wages are 30 to 50K$ to start. Just another heads up cause its lookin like theres about a 40 % chance the US will go into worse case almost scenario.

Re: Surviving during Teotwaki In TEOTWAWKI, there will be nobody driving on the highways. You must me be talking about an economic SHTF scenario. TEOTWAWKI would be something like a nuclear war or a comet colliding with the earth.

Re: Surviving during Teotwaki I stand corrected.

Re: Surviving during Teotwaki no big deal.

Re: Surviving during Teotwaki A severe enough economic situation could well be described as the end of the world as we know it. If you have no job, can't afford to drive your car, have to grub in local dirt for food, that sure isn't the world you know now.

I've also heard that. If the stock market crashes and folks lose their jobs, I see this could be a plausible direction. However, if the stock market crashes, we have an energy crises, famine, and the government is bankrupt, there won't be any money to put into infrastructure. And in fact many government workers will lose their jobs. The latter seems more likely to me.

Or it might be a Depression-style work program, like the CCC and the TVA. Putting all those people to work is so much better than letting them idle and think about burgling their (equally desperate) neighbor's house.

Re: Surviving during Teotwaki $100 billion won't even fill the potholes, let alone do any significant maintenance and improvements (bridges, over/underpasses, new interchanges, etc.) There's no way the goobermint (us taxpayers) could pay for a massive work program like this. The "money" will be conjured up by the Fed like a rabbit out of a hat. Sell FRNs, buy PMs.
