coca cola has always done well during recessions, war, etc. But as one said, there'll be a day when money will have no value as you can't eat it. Only those with produce will be able to trade. My mum grew up in Northern Italy during WWII, which was a fairly affluent area but still very much effected by the limited supplies of grains, sugar, live stock, milk, etc. They were doing comparatively well as they grew corn, potatoes, had chickens, pigs etc. She vividly remembers when a wealthy woman came looking for food to feed her family. She had a mink coat to trade. No one was interested in the mink coat but the woman was given some food to see her family through a few more days. The biggest melt down in human history is now not such a crazy idea. We've have created cities so isolated and so unproductive that survival would be virtually impossible without transportation and a sustainable economy. Up until the the car was created every home was self sufficient to survive, producing much of its needed food and the owners new exactly what to do during tough times, like growing beans during summer, which they would dry and eat all through winter. Who's gonna do that now? Reality is a horrible thing. I hope I'm wrong. Maybe things will smooth out just like the previous oil crisis' and everything will still smell nice and America will still make stupid movies where people can fly like a bird, blah blah. Maybe things will be okay after all for the next 50 years before we nut out the major problems that the world is facing. My concern is; what if the solutions don't fix the problems?
