I’m not too optimistic for the near economic future of America or the World but I am looking forward to some of the benefits of a depression.
- Enjoying the ketchup sandwiches my Grandpa always talked about
- Learning how to can vegetables
- Having more sporting events on basic channels, since no one will be able to afford satellite and cable
- No more fighting over who gets the bill when I go out with friends
- Not feeling guilty that my house paint is peeling
- Reusing aluminum foil for both food preservation and animal shaped gifts
- Become a squirrel hunter
- Wear my worn out jeans with pride
- Raise chickens
- Chop wood like a fiend. Don’t know about you but I love choppin wood
- Feel like a king when I buy a 24 pack of Pabst
- Won’t have to hear about activists trying to save whales
- Riding my bike more
- Picking up pennies on the street, even if they aren’t face up
- Having conversations while in bread lines
- No more TMZ
- Making moonshine
- Having a legitimate excuse not to go shopping with my girlfriend
- Lose 10-15 pounds from lack of food, therefore helping my water buoyancy when the glaciers melt from Global Warming
- Having more youngsters play tag and not becoming obese while playing Halo
- Appreciating the Lawrence Welk show
- Honing my bartering skills
- No longer being considered a “pack rat” instead being called resourceful
- Stop receiving credit card offers in the mail
- Knowing the true meaning of horse power, yeehaw!
- Enjoying life without materialistic burdens
I’m sure I’ll think of more.
