Are we all future denizens of Club Orlov?

I don't know if Dmitri Orlov is right or not. He's predicting COLLAPSE of good old USA. He is quite the fascinating and funny writer; always a good, provocative read.

I find much of what he writes quite plausible, which is sort of scary, but the madness of our current situation seems palpable.

So what to do?

Orlov suggests starting a garden, owning a donkey, getting to know your neighbors, maybe getting a sailboat - the wind is a good energy source.

Learn to do something that will be useful as barter in an economy where money is worthless.

Good times?
