The ‘Big One’ California quake next week

This is the Dreams and Prediction forum, right? So don’t shoot the messenger. I dreamt and I’m predicting an 8 plus will occur Thursday 12/14 in the SF area.

Exactly how confident are you in your prediction? If you have high confidence about this, let's make it interesting. I will personally donate $10,000 to the relief effort if this happens, but if this disaster doesn't happen, as I suspect it will not, you must donate $100 to a charity of my choosing.

Deal?

good.. hopefully cali falls into the ocean

Like a Sloan valve dumping a loaded toilet.

Another one of these posts!!!

Christ, As a "liberal" I am not the biggest fan of the insane rhetoric coming from the liberal base, but that does not equate to finding humor in the destruction such an event would cause.

These are your fellow human beings, part of freedom allows for people to have differing views, everyone has a purpose, we all came here to learn and California is full of beautiful souls across the political spectrum.

Part of that loaded toilet you describe would also contain people who think and feel exactly as you do, what does that say about yourself?

We came here to learn?

We came here to experience and perhaps learn but none of that matters when the place is hijacked.

Let go..and realize everything can and will be taken from you in EVERY dimension.

It’s the 6th Largest economy in the world, currently.

I stand corrected. I was just going by memory. But I knew that it was some non-trivial component of the US economy.

Of course California is also home to some of the largest tech sectors in the world. Not to mention the agricultural products they produce to help feed the US. Disabling any of the West Coast ports would significantly decrease our supply of Asian made products that are now absolutely essential to our way of life.

In short, a significant EQ in the LA or SF area would quickly be felt nationwide. And the global economic perturbations would soon follow.

I always chuckle to myself when certain elements of the US population who are disgusted by California's liberalism gleefully cheer the state on when their citizens discuss secession from the US. They simply can't imagine how their lives would change if that became a reality.

I think California is something like the 9th largest economy in the world. Any major event that significantly damages the California economy would also do so to the rest of the United States.

What would even a temporary loss of access to Asia do to the US economy, and to Asia?

Maybe force us to make more things locally? That would be horrible.

I hope you are wrong for the loss of life ect. But if you want me to feel bad we cant get cheap goods from Asia and have to produce more things here, that's not going to happen.
