Why is this good for America? Well if you are smart enough to capitalize on this you could undoubtedly make a fortune selling survival supplies, Bibles/ Korans and booze and cigarettes. Seriously, there was a tremendous surge in the economy leading up to Y2K. With the fear that the world's computers would shut down due to a software glitch not accounting for the roll-over in date from the 1900's to 2000's. We are still here and the world's nuclear arsenal didn't launch on their own.
So- what can we expect over the next 24-72 hours? It will probably go something like this:
Now-24 hrs: Panic buying of food, water, gasoline, batteries, guns/knives, ammunition, prescription refills and medical supplies. Maybe a good single malt scotch or two will find its way into the stash. Internet congestion will increase as people search for news pertaining to the rapture, end of the world and apocalypse.
24-48 hrs: This is peek 'Judgement Day' hours. Every hour leading to the close-out of the end of the day on Saturday May 21 will seem like an eternity as dooms-dayers watch another hour pass by. Any political, national or local disturbance will be perceived as leading up to the Apocalypse. Any naturals disaster, earthquake, solar disturbance etc., will fuel fear and add to the panic. If these events take place, the interstates and highways might start to fill with panicking citizens fleeing urban centers. Smoke 'em if you got em.
48-72 hrs: Post-Apocalypse chill down. When all is said and down- Sunday will start like most days, with people returning to worship and time with their families. The BBQ grills will come up, the food stashes will be shared and enjoyed. The stockpile of good Canadian beer will be consumed. Folks will smoke the expensive cigars they bought to celebrate the end, but it will just be the beginning.
So bring on the rapture- it'll provide a much needed bump to the economy. Only a crisis like the impending 'Apocolypse' could be marketed and 'made in Ameica'. So get your John Cusak "on" and enjoy!

Funny how easy it is to make a speculation like this and see it all over social networking sites like Facebook. It's been on every ones status updates :-/
ReplyDeleteYeah Lol, My status today morning was, "Is anyone alive?" And everyone was :D
ReplyDeleteHi,This was a great scam and I am sure some people made a lot of money off of this scare tactic. If in fact people had read there bible they would have known that no man knows the day our hour when the son of man comes not even the angels. Matthew 24:36
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that was indeed a hype! We never knew what would have happened, but it didn't! :D Almost of my friends in FB was like posting an "end of the world" status, too!
ReplyDeleteI can still clearly remember this way back 1999. We were not allowed to have a class tshirt for our Christmas party because the world ends in year 2000.lol The world could end any day. That's what people should think of.

A lot of businesses are taking advantage of this "end of the world" news. They might even be sponsoring such news so that people will buy more stocks for their fridge and all.

When ever the end of the world comes around- the scams start circulating. Just like Y2K.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is favourable to most of the businessmen because many people who were scared sold their houses. This news is really irking since it leaves fear into the hearts of every people who believe and other people were taking advantage.
ReplyDeleteVery scary, we should trust God on this issue, only God has the power to stop the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why people are more interested in knowing these things 'end of the world' its all up to God what he thinks or he feels he will do that, no need to speculate things from before...
ReplyDeleteGreat article. It cracks me up every time there's a prediction like this. I don't think I know anyone who took it seriously but a lot of friends threw "End-of-the-World" parties which was a lot of fun!
ReplyDelete=)
Yeahh I like seeing people panic on my facebook wall, i still remember some word they type.
ReplyDeletelet God choose the best. don't even think we will agree 2011 or later will be the end of world.

Well, I so remember on how people get into panicked when this was on aired on television. Well, if this is something that has to happen nobody can predict that. Wonder how people tend to assume~!
ReplyDeleteOn this day, I kind of laughed at the people who actually thought that something was going to happen. I need to start making the most out of times like those. Like "selling survival supplies.". That's a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteHi guys,
ReplyDeleteI'm in the market for IT hardware support. I found Prob-Solve Solutions on Google - http://probsolvesolutions.co.uk/it_support_company_in/index.asp . Has anyone used them? I haven't heard about them before, does anyone know if they're any good?
Thanks in advance
