And there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WE CAN DO to prevent or prepare for it.

sure there is.

• get a years supply of shelf stable food, preferably things with a decade long shelf life
• start a garden and fill it with staple foods that are nutritional and abundant
• install a solar system, no matter how big or small
• collect barter goods like alcohol, fabric, paper, hand tools, entertainment media, books, etc
• learn trade skills that can land you a job in a jobless market

these are just five things you can do now before the bust.
