then no one survives.
Remember the parable of the women with the lamps on the journey to meet the bridegroom. When those who didn't heed advice and carry extra oil and trim their wicks, ran out - they asked those who had prepared, to share.
They were told, sorry, but if we share with you then none of us will make it
another point: Be careful who you let know you HAVE storage. Beside those who may decide to take your food, the gov't already has in place - should the 'need' arise - to call your storage "a hoard" you a "hoarder" and therefore a criminal. They will take your food and give it all those who didn't plan ahead...like themselves
More than likely, they think that survivalists WILL share. Another mistake.
I would say that we have nothing to spare. It's not lying because we don't have any to spare. We have enough for us.
