I'm sitting here doing some pretty good damage to a bottle of Bushmill's and I'm thinking about how much I'll miss whiskey. I can distill my own, but it won't be like this. Other things on my list:
1. Dr. Pepper -- What the hell is it? It tastes good, but what is it?
2. The internet
3. photographs -- not too difficult, but I never learned those skills.
4. Guinness extra stout -- see comments about Bushmill's
I'm a doomer, so I know my list of what won't be available will be different than others. The question pertains to what you would miss if your vision of crash/power down/slow bleed happens.
Salud,
Kenny (aka underdressed) |

Gimme a break, no matter how bad the crash will be, sea transport will still be cheap. Maybe it won't be as fast as now, but wine doesn't go bad if it spend a few weeks or months on the ship. It will only affect the foods that start rotting fast. Besides, there's plenty of good european wines to choose from.

I think Internet will still be alive and well but just that the number of people online might diminish to a trickle...maybe just peak oiler with enough solar panels.
I heard internet is nuclear explosion proof...i think.
I will miss
1. Cheap Stuff from China
2. Cheap transportation
3. Cheap food
4. Mega Shops
5. Safe streets. |

| Okay, so, seeing the joy on a childs face as they visit Mickey's house is a more abohorent display of excess than sitting in front of a computer swilling Bushmills and Guiness or Flying around in a cessna jet just for fun. Why is this any different from on-demand hot water? All are luxuries, are they not? Obviously, the point of the original posters question. So, flame elsewhere Gideon! Futhermore, foriegn tourists make special pilgrimages to California and Florida USA specifically to visit the socalled shithole of fat American excess. |

Speculating about what life will be like after the crash. 
I'd miss my extreme abundance of free time.
I'd also miss cheap restaurant food.
