You would have three choices:
1) Join a mob and try to get something to live on for today.
2) Starve.
3) Ensure you enter that season with a plan in place to survive.

I chose option #3 a long time ago and if perchance, I don’t survive, I have the best option.. eternity in Paradise.
Obviously, the North American “elites” are paying very close attention to the goings on in Venezuela. This is just a dry run on a small scale to see how to control this situation. Of note is that the citizens are being contained only because they are not armed. This fact alone puts all of todays hyperbole into sharp focus.
Be ever vigilant. Pray un-ceasingly.
If you don’t already have number 3 covered you need to get busy. Bib box stores are already quietly saying they are having a hard time get shipments. Especially the ones in rural areas. Go to Walmart or Kroger and look at the shelves. Instead of 5-6 cans deep the rows many times are stocked only 2 deep. We watch this stuff everywhere we go and are seeing a lot of it. Where you used to see 5 brands of something now you see 2.
“Can you picture an America like this?”
Yes.
A few years ago, an ice storm knocked out our power for around a week. The generators were immediately snatched up...but there were constant rumors about which stores might have a shipment coming in, etc. So, around the 5th day, I went to Lowe’s when a shipment was expected. There were at least 100 people there wanting a generator...the situation was tense and raucous. Some pushing, some shoving, and a whole lot of arguing when a few people bought 2 generators. The police were there to keep order, and I have no doubt there would have been fist fights if they hadn’t been,
This was in Kansas...and we still had food, and most of the stores had power and were still open. Not a crisis at all, but all law and order was about to break down at that Lowe’s.
Now, I learned a little lesson in how we have all become sheep. When it became apparent that I wasn’t going to get a generator, I walked over to customer service and asked them to call a store in Kansas City, around 60 miles away. Did they have any generators? Why yes! I reserved one, and drove there to buy it. For some reason, we had self imposed a geographic box around ourselves, and seemed blind to the rather obvious solution of getting a needed supply (the generator) where there hadn’t been an ice storm. I think its part of human nature, and a part that gets worse the more we allow others to ‘take care’ of things for us...and its gotten pretty bad in this country. Again, this was fairly self sufficient Kansas, and I seemed to have been the only one who decided to just drive 60 miles instead of sit and sulk/fight. Imagine what it would be like in a liberal utopia urban center.
