Economic collapse & US citizens

The corona virus got me thinking. If all of China is shut down on quarantine and people are afraid to leave their houses how long can people pay their bills?
More over if something like that were to happen here how long could Americans go paying on their bills? I could personally pay mine for 3 years if I quit work today but what happens For the rest of America? I have a yard That I can grow vegetables in and pond to draw water.

People couldn't go two days without the government tit after Katrina.

Most of today’s society in America couldn’t make it a 1 month.
2 weeks without pay and internet would irreparably destroy half the households in this country and implode the major cities. And anyone near a major city without a gun and a strong neighborhood would be killed and looted. Take a look at New Orleans after Katrina. Compare the lives of people in Orleans and those under the protection of Jefferson Parish.

Well, I got a safe full of bullets and a couple of G Loomis Fly Rods. So, there.

Luckily I have a job that would let me work from my house.

If that happened here paying bills will be least of your worries

You have a water treatment facility ?

Pay bills with what exactly? If people aren’t going to work then cash or electronic savings won’t mean much. You’ll need tangible items to barter with.

For the big cities it all depends on the truckers and the weather.
If those keep running, we should be ok. Energy/Utility folks and farmers will keep getting paid because duh. then it just kinda trickles down from that.
Other places? Not so much. We are pretty well vertically integrated. Yeah, we might not have 100% of everything but the USA can keep the lights on and the trucks running with shite in them way more by itself than any other country on earth.

Yes

There were mortgage companies that were delaying foreclosure suing the height of the downturn. In total collapse it would be that times 10.

Why would I be paying bills if the economy collapsed?

Most people don't even have a emergency fund.

If China isn't making our stuff, how are we going to buy it?
Posted on 1/27/20 at 7:35 pm to Mud_Till_May
I'm pretty sure OP just started this thread to brag about having 3 years of savings
What good would any of that do in a true collapse?
