I disagree! It puts BOTH on the front page and exposes the Abandoner-in-Chief for the disgrace that he is.
When Americans call, 0 runs to Vegas.
Here in the country (very small town in my case) the only outside help we really need or want after a disaster is getting the roads clear and the power back up. As it is we all have chain saw so we tend to clear most roads for ourselves.
Rural people tend to keep more food and are generally better prepared anyway. I don’t burn wood but I have two wood stoves out in the garage with everything I need to install one inside of a hour. I have a generator. I need to get a hand pump to install on my well but I can get a decent one for under $200. I live on the shore of a lake so I have access to wash and toilet water and extra food there.
One of the best analyses of recent political trends I’ve seen. Thanks for posting this.
I’ve been through 3 significant hurricanes; Danny, Katrina, and Ivan on the Gulf Coast. It’s all a matter of where you are. I was slightly left or right of all of them. I lost power for 3 weeks for Katrina, but was still able to get groceries and gas. Of course, if you were west of my location, you were screwed if you stayed. There was no food, no water, and no way to get it to some areas. I live in Mobile, Al. I’m prepared now for a few months of just about any emergency.
It reveals that we are ripe for an overthrow. Our enemies are taking notes.
“Don’t talk like one of them. You’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don’t, they’ll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their MORALS, their CODE, it’s a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. I’ll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, THEY'LL EAT EACH OTHER. See, I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve” ~ The Joker
We see this happening in NYC and New Jersey right before our eyes in the aftermath of Sandy.
Good for you! Sounds like you doing the right thing. I do live out in the country and try to be as self sustaining
as possible. I am off the grid, using solar and two generators, I have a well, put in a large garden every year, I have an oak forest on my property, etc.
