Signs?

If you know what to look for, then you may see the signs of an economic collapse approaching. Especially if you live in a sheltered little area like I do.
1. Protests on Wall Street: People don't protest when things are going GOOD. And if something like that is nationally televised, then people are going to get nervous.
2. FEMA when we don't need them: FEMA was in my little neck of the woods at the Wal-Mart (surprise surprise!) and set up a trailer. The funny thing is, WE DON'T NEED THEM HERE! There's more flooding in the next two counties over and it was never announced that FEMA would be there. So if people really did need help, they would never know that "help" was nearby!
3. Stealing Copper: It was recently broadcast on the news that power stations in the area are being raided for their copper wiring. When I first heard about this type of theft, it was from countries that were so poor that the people were willing to risk electrocution for a little money. Is that what we've become now?
4. Stealing Food: Someone broke into a local Panera Bread, stole a loaf, and locked himself in the bathroom and ate it. Obviously he was hungry. Is this a vision of things to come or was he just crazy?
