End the FED. Your money isn't worth the paper its printed on. Buy tangible assets, because when things get bad the Great Depression is going to be looked upon fondly.

It already happened to Detroit.Look at Detroit and that will be the scenario.Detroit was the largest bankruptcy in US history.
Detorit was once on a par with Toronto.

There are some pretty eye opening numbers in that link. Take a look at the unfunded liabilities that aren't recorded on the books a debt.

Haha Chicago sounds familiar but I cant remember if I heard it at Bible study or on CNN. Wait, I couldn't have been from CNN because I tuned them out years ago and I have a short memory

The Bible is definitely a better option than the news media.

And there was Nineveh which was a trade center conditioned by the goddess Ishtar. They never knew their left from their right and repented and was spared under Jonah's preaching, however they fell back into their old ways and was conquered by the Babylonians and Medes.

And there was Petra carved out of rock that was impregnable. They even had running water. No one from the outside could even touch it but its a belief it was destroyed from insider help. An earth quake or two didn't help either. God had said;
" Even though Edom has said, "We have been impoverished, But we will return and build the desolate places," Thus says the LORD of hosts: "They may build, but I will throw down; They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness, And the people against whom the LORD will have indignation forever."
The stage had been set for " Indiana Jones". lol.

And there was the great trade center Tyre that Alexander conquered. Since he had no navy he built a causeway out to it. Even Alexander himself met his end later, many claim that maybe it was more than boredom that killed him, but maybe was poisoned by his own.

And of course their was those 2 cities in which God used potash, sulfur and charcoal set off by lightning to rain down fire. Always remain positive and don't lust after what's behind us.

How are these cities going to pay their bills and survive with so much revenue lost due to the virus? Will these cities make a rebound or is it the death of them?

I haven't read the thread but it will be the people of the land, the people in the country (the country folk) that all the city slickers hate that bail their sorry can't take it butts out of this just as it's always been. Don't expect any praise, not even a thank you. Expect nothing but animosity and hate, like every time before this. We are nothing to them because they and only they know what the moral high ground is. smirk

Finster you are spot on -- and I for one am over it. There is nothing that I need from a city, and while it may not be a very " christian" attitude , it is time for them to " wake up"

Big cities are much more likely to bury themselves or cause their own down fall. There is no where near the wealth or income in the rural portions of the USA to bail out the 80% of the population that live in suburban and urban centers. Even if several million people would exit the metro areas it would not change the transition that has been going on for many decades. The main reason that many rural areas don't have near the debt as the urban areas do is they don't have the wealth or revenue to leverage debt, which is why many of the youth and younger families leave as they don't offer near the social amenities that the more populated areas do.

Of course they will survive! the government will just give them more money like all these free handouts they've been giving and still trying to give recently. Debt has become a thing of normalcy for those in office.
my biggest concern is if they ever decide to collect (from the tax payers of course) and we put ourselves in a communist state where we pay the man everything and he redistributes how he sees fit
