Distinguish between wealth and paperwork. As Bucky Fuller pointed out, if all the paperwork disappeared overnight we would have a hellofa fight over who owns what, but no one would (necessarily) starve. If the wealth itself disappeared: the factories, the distribution networks, and so on, we would be screwed. In the situation today the physical basis of wealth is not under attack, the "human capital" is. As long as the food and water keep coming we'll eventually be all right, keep your head, and keep your eye on the fundamentals: In approximate rank order from most important to lesser-but-still-very important, the base of Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs: +Water (also soap!) +Food Production & Distribution & Waste Management. +Communications (under which I include governance) +Electric Power Pervading and fundamental to all these are keeping a level head and a civil society. "It may seem a ridiculous idea, but the only way to fight the plague is with decency." ~Camus
