Within 72 hours...standing in FEMA supply lines for hours at a time just for a bottle of water and an emergency ration kit.

now that's just sad. Even a poor person should be able to put together a 72hour kit much less a 7 day kit without much cost. There's still a lot of prepper training needed by this country, that's for sure.

How many would actually take such “training” if it were offered?

There’s really no one that isn’t aware of the need,
they just either don’t want to bother with it,

or it is against their “religion”. The religion of state worship.

How many brain cells does it take to fill all your pots and pans, etc. with tap water? I used to work with poor people and I never saw any of them without food in the pantry. Ok, one didn't have food but she was able to call in uh, "favors" so that when I checked in later that day she had enough in the pantry to last a good while and the windows, doors and porch were also repaired. Not that I condone such activities but where there's a will, there's a way. The majority of those we've seen on tv don't have the will.

I'm surprised some bozo hasn't called the police to complain there's price gouging on crack.
