How to Survive the Economic Apocalypse (TQP0101)

There’s a scene in Alan Moore’s Watchmen where Ozymandius takes a few minutes to ensure that his gigantic fortune will get even more gigantic. To do this, he watches a hundred televisions simultaneously, to analyze trends in advertising.

If you watch television right now, mostly what you see are deals on sandwiches. This is extremely important. It means that we are all going to be very poor, very soon, and cheap sandwiches are all we’ll be able to afford. If you’ve got any money left, now’s the time to invest in cheap sandwiches and cheap beer. No matter what else happens, people will always buy cheap sandwiches and cheap beer.

My portfolio has been nothing but sandwiches and beer for years. I’ll know it’s matured when I get fat.

Then I can ride out all this economic havoc by hybernating in a cave and living on my fat.

This plan is glorious.
