Banks are estimating 65% odds, people are dumping us Treasury bonds, there is reporting of a purposeful weakening of the dollar, and I’m seeing the first price hikes enacted. Any suggestions for how to prepare for the shitstorm that’s coming?

    My job’s unlikely to go anywhere unless I commit a heinous crime and I already live well below my means in terms of required expenses.

    I’m probably going to be fine, but just in case I intend to increase my cash savings and stock up a bit on nonperishable food and other required household goods.

    Other than that there’s not a lot of prep I can do.

      Same for me. As long as people are still shipping things my job will be safe. My hours slimmed, sure, but I’ve got enough seniority to ride out lay offs
