No seriously, everything will work out.
Having destroyed all classic fundmentals of our civilization including big abstract stuff like products and actual goods, we should be back to profitability by next year. We intend to start a new Ponzi scheme with even more investors in the pyramid who will pay for the privilege to join our nothing enterprise making and creating nothing and selling nothing at markup and exporting nothing to countries in desperate need of nothing. This nothing will pile up until it has made us all fabulously wealthy in our empire of nothing.
If you believe this is going to happen, you deserve what is actually going to happen.

I dont think the stock market rise over the last 2 years has any parallel in history. Personally never seen anything like it, day after day after day of nothing but gains. And all in the face of the worst economy of my entire lifetime.
And the sheep lap it up. Go to sleep sheep - nothing to see here.
I feel like Boris Spassky, shackled to a chair on a spaceship run by retards heading on a direct trajectory right into the sun.
There is no possible way that ANY of this ends well.

PAPER.AS.MONEY
Study the above statement, when you absorb it fully you will burst out crying or laughing depending on your disposition. For the cost of some ink and paper (or less for electronic funds) the bankers can cut themselves in for a percentage. From everyone that uses the stuff.
Barter works, stop funding people who hate the fact you're even alive. Be self reliant as much as possible. Want less. Step off.
Strive every day to be a bad slave.
Paper as money isn't the problem that has let things reach this stage.
It's MONEY AS DEBT that is the real madness. Every dollar represents debt and interest you have to pay back. Forever. The national debt under that system can never be paid off. We are well beyond the point of rational systems. Well beyond even the pretence of honesty. This like that thing Tex was talking about.
Fractional reserve systems let a few people conjure up money and claim wealth with the stroke of a pen and at the same time as the debt money system enslaves those who still try to work for their money and produce real things in exchange for other real things. When you realise this you can see there is no way they will will surrender these massive advantages and go down without a fight. They can control and bribe almost everyone they need to and starve those they can't.
Barter is indeed a good way to deprive them of their tithe under the current system. It won't destroy them, but it can be of benefit to yourself even in the short term.
It should get real interesting soon. Egypt and Tunisia are like the clearing of the throat before the real song begins.
I remember back in the day when the stock market reacted to every little mishap that happened in the world, and in a negative manner. It was a standing joke among my friends and myself.
If a Arabian Sheik stubbed his toe the market would drop 50 points.
Today I reckon that if there were simultaneous 10.0 EQ's in Arkansas and California, and they were accompanied by Yellowstone blowing and comet Elenin hitting the ocean, the stock market would soar up 300 points at least.
We are indeed on planet Htrae (Bizarro World) now. Where's Mr. Mxyzptik? Oh right, he's running the Fed.
Just for laughs, here is a snippet from the Wikipedia entry on Bizarro World:
"In the Bizarro world of "Htrae" ("Earth" spelled backwards), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code which states "Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!". In one episode, for example, a salesman is doing a brisk trade selling Bizarro bonds: "Guaranteed to lose money for you". Later, the mayor appoints Bizarro No. 1 to investigate a crime, "Because you are stupider than the entire Bizarro police force put together". This is intended and taken as a great compliment."
Hmmm, this sounds strangely familiar.

The stock market only goes up, right?
