You really believe all the stores will close???? That's such a fatalistic thought...I prefer to keep a more cheerful outlook.

Prefer? Who cares what you and I prefer. You really think I prefer a collapse scenario? If that is what you think, then I have no words. At least no nice words.

The only thing that matters is REALITY.

I would prefer to never have to sleep, and for my body to produce nuggets of gold in lieu of human waste. But reality seldom takes our preferences into consideration.

Deal with reality, or reality will deal with you. It's that simple.

Have fun with your mental breakdown when you go shopping and the shelves are bare -- and it's that way for months. You will be one of the first ones to die off. Your failure to prepare will effectively earn yourself a "Darwin award" as you eliminate yourself from the gene pool.

If you don't want to be part of the world after the Chastisement, then be my guest. But the way I see it, someone has to survive. My family and I might as well be part of the survivors.

I'm more of an ant than a grasshopper. Nothing wrong with being prudent. And there's certainly nothing wrong with knowing what the ____ is going on in the world. I'll give you a hint: the lazy, apathetic masses fed slop by the Mainstream Media will never know the truth.

P.S. You need to look up "normalcy bias". Right next to the definition, you might see your face.

If I did have twenty years worth of food in my basement I would also have to have guns and twenty years worth of ammo to protect the food. And I don't think I would want to have to kill the hundreds of people who would be trying to break in to my house to get the food so I will just starve with the rest of them with my rosary in hand if there is no food.

Quote from: Matto

I hope all the stores don't close because I don't have twenty years worth of canned foods in the basement.

Google "Just-in-time inventory".

It is easy for even a poor man to decide to stock up on green olives, or spaghetti O's, and clear off the whole shelf. Everyone else in that part of town doesn't get any of those foods for the next week, until their next shopping day.

It's a ridiculous power trip, if you think about it. When you consider how easy it is, it shows how ludicrous our food distribution system is.

All it takes is $30 or $40 in grocery money. Even those on Food Stamps could do it. So it doesn't take a lot of financial power to decide "no one else gets canned chicken today."

Imagine if there were a disaster and EVERYONE wanted to buy food -- those shelves would be cleared off post-haste. And if there was any real disruption (credit collapse, riots, martial law, nuclear bombs, dirty bombs, EMP shockwave, asteroid impact, you name it) the trucks wouldn't physically be able to get through and resupply the central warehouses and all the stores that depend on those warehouses.

You would have whatever food is in your home, plus what you can produce in your home/backyard. Nothing more.

You will find that few things have no downside, and few things have no upside. Everything is package deal of upsides and downsides. Everything comes with a price.

The improvements to agriculture that permit most of us to ignore growing food is the same thing that makes us so vulnerable to starvation if there is any disruption in the system. So you see, there is a downside.
Nothing "good" comes for free in this life. Everything comes with a price.
