It is really cool that the Mayans were so smart as to be able to build pyramids and figure out how to track the passage of time. The fact that their calendar ends at all is purely arbitrary and there is nothing supernatural about it. It was a great big round thing and like all circles it ends where it begins. It just ran out of room. Big deal.

It really is a waste of time to even talk about it. I am wasting my time commenting on this charlatan who has enough food in the picture to last maybe two months. That food supply is basically one trip to Costco. He may live longer than that, but only if he eats his wife and kids. He will have to eat Mom first because the kids are more likely to go along with that plan than Mom is to eat the kids, but I digress.

As for his reason for not showing his hidden bunker, it is because it doesn’t exist. He knows full well that the world is not going to “end”. He is making money off of the stupid and is not so stupid himself as to spend that money on some ridiculous shelter with a year’s supply of food. More likely, he has invested in some property far away from the people who will be pointing and laughing at him on the 22nd.

I actually have more food on my shelves right now than that guy in the picture and I don't consider myself a prepper at all. I just like to buy in bulk when it comes to long shelf items like canned foods, batteries, nuts, bottled water, and yes, even tin foil.

I have no illusions that this would save me in a TEOTWAWKI event. No amount of food and supplies would save you because eventually, other people will figure out what you have and they will be beating a path to your door. They will ask nicely at first but if you refuse them, they will eventually come back at night with torches. And for those "yahoos" who brag on their guns and ammo, sure, you might be able to hold out a little longer but eventually you are going to run out of bullets or fall asleep and an angry mob will eventually climb over the dead bodies and they will be ANGRY. The ending will not be pretty.

My opinion is that the true survivors of a TEOTWAKWI event will be those who have skills to barter. Those who know carpentry, dentistry, doctoring, engineering skills, etc., will become the elite of the emerging society. Others with no skills to offer, and that includes the idle rich, will just be seen as useless mouths to feed. They will have the most to fear.
