We are well on our way to the “sudden stop”. That is an actual economics term so look it up. When the stop occurs, I trust everyone has prep’ed because that is when the guns will come out and the thin veneer of society will melt away.
I certainly hope not, but I am also thankful I live in/among a pretty tight rural community.
There isn’t much we can do about our out of control government. But we can do the best for ourselves and our families.
Get out of debt, save up some money and have some amount of food and fuel to survive even a brief meltdown of society.
I feel sorry for those who see the potential for some pain ahead but are either unprepared or live in a densely populated urban area where supplies will not last long on the store shelves.
If this doesn’t happen then worse case you are out of debt and have some savings and supplies to last a disruption from a storm. Not a bad thing.
