An economic analyst who predicted the 2008 financial collapse has spent tens of thousands of dollars stockpiling food as “an insurance policy against chaos” should the coronavirus outbreak cause a global economic collapse, according to Paul Joseph Watson for Summit News.
“My immediate concern is not so much getting coronavirus, it’s more so economic collapse is caused by the coronavirus outbreak,” said Colombo. “Ever since the global financial crisis hit, that was a wake up call to me that I need to be prepared.”
The article noted that Colombo has stockpiled a supply which could last up to 18 months if needed, including 240 pounds of rice, innumerable bags of beans, 192 cans of Spam and a “40 days and 40 nights” kit that contains recipes for pancakes, rolled oats, miso, superfood, green lentils, brown rice, quinoa, black beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans and millet.
“I’ve just cleaned my local Walmart out of its supply of Vienna Sausages and DAK ham. I was definitely getting some interesting looks!” he said in a tweet.

Wow. This is like Y2K.
Wow. I didn’t think about the economic side. I spend $300 and it barely feeds my family for 2 weeks. I don’t know that I can afford to stockpile.
