it's easy to forget that economy is about to die.
This comes as a crushing blow to me, a self-titled free market economist, that the very foundations of western society are about to shrivel and ash like so many home deeds burned in an oil drum for what little warmth they provide.
On behalf of all laissez faire proponents who got you in to this global shitfest: Our Bad.
As further apology, allow me to tell you which institutions will be collapsing first, and how you can pick the bones clean of the once proud and noble beast we called civilization.
Article 1: Circuit City
Beginning tomorrow Circuit City will be leveling 151 of its outlets to make way for dollar stores and bankruptcy courts. That means that all their shineys will be available for what they're worth as opposed to what they usually charge.
Electronic devices will be of the utmost importance when the states devolve into a crude barter system where lives are cheap and the only law is the one you take into your own hands. A 61" LCD television with 1080p resolution will buy your rent and protection for a year in the remnants of Queen Creek, and an Xbox 360 Elite just might bag you a cow.
Remember, your money will mean nothing to the future American horrorscape, so stock up on worthless trinkets and gizmos now in order to provide for your family or commune.

Note: To those anticipating my lessons in sailing, the only vehicle capable of towing the ship stopped working in a most spectacular and noteworthy way (starter motor died). My father and I spent the morning drinking tea and discussing the family.
