The article goes on to give a VERY plausible step-by-step series of actions that could take place.
We need only look a few months back on how the animals (word chosen for the behavior exhibited) handled finding out EBT limits were not being enforced -- and then later when they were put back.
I have seen instances of what happens when there is panic and stores run out of food. When Hurricane Rita was thought to go through Houston and then through my town, people from Galveston through Houston, all left at once. People died on Hwy. 10 out of Houston toward San Antonio and Hwy. 45 out of Houston and through my town and all the way to Dallas. Millions of people cannot leave at once - cars ran out of gas from being in a stopped line of cars for hours and going no where. People in cars for hours had no water or food and when gas ran out, they for sure weren't going anywhere. Don't get on the road with millions of others trying to leave your area. Where you are is safer than exposed on the road.
People tend to think “this” is so bad, another place “must” be better so they get in a car and go, then find out there is no place better than they just left and they have less provisions than they had at home. Unless you have a safe place to go, don't leave.
It takes two days for stores in a county to run out of food due to a hurricane coming and no food stuffs are coming back until trucks can refuel their tanks in that county. There are no riots in a pre-hurricane situation, but there would be in a different situation such as the EBT cards not working or power not working so NO credit cards work. Stores would be overrun and neither they nor police could stop it - don't be there.
Police can't save anyone or stop a riot if there are many more rioters than there are police - don't be there.
Prepare now to be secure in your house, have everything you need for a period of time and the amount of time is up to you.
Should that prediction come to pass, there will be a large pile of MUYs in my yard that the LEOs should feel free to dispose of.
Love this paragraph:
“Most of us wish we could turn back the calendar to Norman Rockwell’s America. But we cannot, for that America is water long over the dam and gone from our sight, if not from our memories. John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” If that is true, judging by current and even accelerating cultural shifts, we might already have passed the point of no return.
The prudent American will trim his sails accordingly.”
I think by that he means the prudent “American” will have an exit plan.
As a practical matter, the EBT cards won’t ever read zero – at least not so long as the government can still print money. Sure, the balances reflected would be largely worthless, but that’s a different matter.
I doubt EBT cards will ever stop working while regular ATM cards do. And I doubt most suburban households have more food on hand than people on welfare. In fact, from the quantity of food I have seen snap card users bring home at once, they may have more. Especially if they also frequent food banks, which give out mostly canned food that probably doesn't get eaten.
