As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

I predict a further loss of privacy as we teeter further and further into being a cashless society by volunteering all our data to Big Brother.

OH Look, cars that are constantly plugged into the system and we won't even question it if it's in the form of "safety."

1) Discretionary income continues to go down, and people get cranky

2) Someone tries to kill Trump

3) Trump becomes the "not seen" president because he's trying to avoid #2

I'd like to see JT tossed out on his ear and someone with some financial sense put in charge, but I doubt that will happen.

I predict all devices which enable you to be controlled or monitored by big brother will be available to everyone for a very low price. Sadly, I see the reasoning behind it... not like we weren't given any chances.

Food for thought when entering the USA nowadays.

All your information and data can be intercepted at the border via your phone.

Has anyone being asked to unlock their Iphone, Galaxy or any phone at all lately at the US border?

What if, like me, you don't have one and the border guard doesn't believe you?
