tjic: > During Depression 1.0 everyone seemed so nice.Read about the Bonus Army 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_armyThere are a thousand other reasons that the Depression was not, remotely, "nice".> Does anyone have some MacGyver preparation tipsI personally think that we're in for a decade-long "L-shaped" / "Japanese style" recession.  Unemployment may get as high as 10% ... but that's a level that Europe has lived with for decades.  The "good" news is that we're headed into an era of more socialism, which means that property will get stolen, wealth will get redistributed from makers to takers, and productive behavior will be taxed and disincentivized ... but there will be higher spending on unemployment benefits.I'm pretty handy - as the founder of SmartFlix I watch tons of videos on how-to topics.  I can operate a lathe and a milling machine, build furniture, do some blacksmithing, frame a house, do plumbing, etc. ... but I honestly don't think it's going to come to that.
