Nothing, yo. I’m just some middle management dude in New England what the fuck would I possibly do? What action could I take that would affect that situation at all? What would I have to even protect myself from in that situation that would warrant any action?
Same here. Well, aside from being a completely different person from TheAlbatross. I guess I’d go shopping, just in case there ends up being a big rush on supermarkets (and thus ironically contributing to any such rush). I’d also ping my financial manager and let him know he can do whatever he needs to with my investments to keep them healthy in the no doubt very turbulent financial times to come.
Anything else, it’s probably too late to “get ahead” of (such as for example buying new computer hardware before Taiwan’s chip fabs go offline for a while) so I’ll just make do with what I’ve got and keep watching the news with interest.
Buy more Raytheon stock.
This would likely mean my country’s (Australia) biggest trading partner going to war with our biggest ally (USA). We’re also close to this conflict geographically speaking so would likely play a key role in it. Honestly this conflict would really fuck our economy and make the entire region more unstable than it already is.
So I’d be quite concerned if this happened. It would destroy my country and be yet another reminder of how we are tied to the USA and will literally follow it to our own destruction.
Roll a joint and look for mushrooms…
