Currency Collapse / Zimbabwe Style
 

A gal took a hidden camera (reporters not allowed) inside of Zimbabwe to show what happens to society when a loaf of bread cost a million 'dollars'.


This is a long film for uTube (25 minutes) but if you want to see first hand life in a collapsed society, have a look.

Hopefully, America will never be this bad off, but you would have to be foolhardy not to expect some rough times as our own collapse plays out.

The ambassador reminds me of our government leaders and our media. Everythings fine, no worries.

It wont get that bad here because we have way more infrastructure and lots of, I dare say, white farmers. I hate to say it but they killed or kicked out all the white farmers because they felt oppressed by the white man because he grew all the food. Now the idiots starve to death.

This deserves a bump.

On the flip side, I don't think 'white folk' will be as patient or tolerant during times of shortages and hardship, my brother. Too many weapons for that. (I am sure you have tried to hand pump water, for example, but not many of the walmart crowd have)

On the other hand, that black market fuel business looked prosperous.

People will always want food and fuel. Anyone with a surplus tanker truck and some friends for security should be able to care for their families needs..

The farmers of any race, who know how to til the land, will want something in exchange for their produce.

Agree about the politicians. They seem to be a necessary evil, even in a collapsed society.

I didn't notice a mad max scenario there, just ordinary people trying to raise families. They didn't say it, but you know they miss the white farmers as now they only DREAM about beef.

Well during the great depression how long did peeps stand in line for food? You may be right though, in todays society everyone wants everything right now and they have no idea what it would be like to wait in line for hours for a loaf of bread. I'm just not sure it could get that bad here though. I hope not anyway. I will still be planning to have at least 6 months to a years worth of food on hand.

Yea my first gf in Cuba lived in a house with no running water. Had to go pump a bucket of water first thing in the morning before you took a dump LOL. Can remember showering with her and her mom heating us water. Wasn't really a shower, just standing in the shower ladling water over each others heads LOL.

After 9 months of dating, the house had a bedroom addition for us, the exterior was all redone, the interior had all new tile and they had running water and a 500 gallon storage tank. First time in her grandparents lives they had running water. It actually wasnt that bad to deal with not having running water and it might be a good idea to put in a hand pump just in case

yeah, when ur taking 'ladle showers' with the daughter, I imagine not :ok: Keefs been there, I rather enjoyed 'the simple life' myself. If it wasn't for this collapse there is do doubt where I would be spending my retirement time/money. What they may lack in material benifets they make up for in spirit/charm and tight family units.
