    And there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WE CAN DO to prevent or prepare for it.

    sure there is.

    • get a years supply of shelf stable food, preferably things with a decade long shelf life
    • start a garden and fill it with staple foods that are nutritional and abundant
    • install a solar system, no matter how big or small
    • collect barter goods like alcohol, fabric, paper, hand tools, entertainment media, books, etc
    • learn trade skills that can land you a job in a jobless market

    these are just five things you can do now before the bust.
