The metric shit ton of money will pay for the guns and ammo.
Really though, it could be used to fund the programs that ultimately arrive at a stable system.

A musical about Green Day was on the Macy's Day Parade. If that ain't a sign of the end times, I dunno what is.

Oh, wait, I do know.

Sarah Palin's reality show.

I had a moment of jealousy there but then I thought, is the metric shit ton of money going to do you any good when we're wandering the post-apocalyptic landscape scavenging for hoards of canned goods and a can opener? Thank goodness so many cans are made with pop-tops now, at least.

Unfortunately canned goods expire.

Unfortunately many of the people who are capable of making metric shit tons of money choose to use it to purchase a political system that will allow them to avoid funding those programs and instead spend an ever increasing proportion of our economic resources on hookers 'n' blow.

I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing, but something about this product disturbs me on a deep level:  http://www.batterblaster.com/   I'm compelled and repelled at the same time.  This product is sold in the health food sections of my grocery store, yet something about them seems so un-health-food- ike that it's hard for me to get my head around.   Michael Polan's theory that one should only eat food that our great-grandmothers and great-great grandmother would recognize as food comes to mind.  It's a fascinating juxtaposition really.

You mean you're going to share? I never thought you had it in you.

Nah, not really.

Question: I have some canned tuna in my pantry. The “best by” date was several months ago. Is it still safe to eat? 
Answer: Yes, the tuna should be fine — provided you’ve been storing it properly and the unopened can isn’t damaged.
 
As the U.S. Department of Agriculture points out, “Best By,” “Best if Used By,” and “Use By” dates on commercially packaged foods sold in the United States are not food safety dates. Provided voluntarily by manufacturers, they are an indication of how long products are likely to remain at peak quality.
 
After the “best by” date has passed, the canned tuna’s texture, color and flavor will gradually deteriorate. So from a sheer quality standpoint, the sooner you eat the tuna, the better.
 
But from a safety perspective, you can consume it well beyond the “best by” date — in fact, unopened shelf-stable commercially canned foods will keep safe indefinitely (assuming they remain properly stored and undamaged), according to the USDA.
 
Just be sure to store your tuna and other shelf-stable canned goods in a cool, dry area and check to see that unopened cans are not leaking, rusting, bulging or severely dented. You should always throw out damaged cans, without tasting the food first.

But if you don't want yours after the apocalypse, I'll take it.

Investing in programs and innovations that result in a stable economic system benefits us all, myself among them. I'm not talking about being philanthropic, I'm talking about avoiding financial annihilation of everyone's capital base. In other words, I can't take money from people that don't have any to take.

Aww, that's sweet.

Horrible sign of end times: bunny crushing.  People really run out of things to get off on to the point where this is a thing?  Really?

You know there is/was this rapist in the N. Virginia area who would find women at bus stops on their way to work and knock them over the head with a brick. When I looked into this I realized the shithead was getting up at like 4AM to pull this off.
THESE THINGS DON'T HAPPEN WHEN PEOPLE HAVE SHIT TO DO. There is no way some working man is getting up at 4AM to commit a crime and then go home, get showered and dressed, and then go to work. Crushing a bunny, dressing up in furry costumes, raping women at bus stops, can all be avoided if people have better stuff to do.

A-Cap is right. Now he just needs to figure out how to repair the entire economy so we can solve this problem.

[Nabubrush]

Nah, not really.

By which I meant that they all eventually get bulgy and fucked up. Yeah, if they aren't bulging, it doesn't matter if they are past the expiration date. However, canning is not a foolproof preservation system.

Certainly, if not a sign of end times, this is, at its very least, the death knell of the music industry.

pop music isnt for me, in general, but i dont see the problem.
