It's about time people started getting scared enough to take the possibility seriously that things can fall completely apart in a very few hours and they may wake up one fine morning to find that they are living in a broken world that will be fortunate to have a 17th century level society.
It really can happen and there is not much to prevent all the parts from breaking. I saw an interview once where a reporter asked a young couple what they would do if the power to the city was lost and would not be back on. Her answer was, "Well, I suppose we would just have to eat out every day."
Everyone really should entertain the possibility that they may be on their own for a few days. It doesn't take long to get thirsty!
hahaha! willymac! that couple's response is sadly typical isn't it? of today's clueless people, oh my gosh that's funny but it's not really, sorry. it's such a deadly serious thing that you just have to laugh or cry. you are so right sir!
Gallows humor, Tex. I thought it was so mindlessly ignorant it was beyond words; living proof of normalcy bias. Her survival plan would be to hold her breath and close her eyes until the unpleasantness is over.
"living proof of normalcy bias." so true that's exactly what it is but it lest you know how devastating this could be or will be.
Yep, being aware is the beginning of survival. Reading the financial news once in every few years would be a start. Maybe more often if you really wanted to get scared about how the system operates.
Devastating is quite an appropriate word when talking about a quadrillion dollars sitting there waiting to suck up all the assets held in banking accounts. Get electronic money out of the banks and buy PMs or cryptos so they are not subject to being sucked into that black hole when it opens!
howdy again sir willymac, yes I agree and I really enjoyed that post where you were laying out the situation so thoroughly!
The book I wrote, Sterling: For the Republic, is about the Sterling family and friends who were caught in that maelstrom. It's 470 pages of a real SHTF situation.
HOWEVER, you will be proud of Texas' contribution to the plot, guaranteed!
I am working on a sequel now ( in between everything else going on )
