Good story, and no doubt true.

I wonder how many people the country could support if the supply chains broke down... 40 50 60 million?

Even at the high end of 60 million, that means right off we’re talking about 4 out of 5 of the people you know being casualties.

It would be quite a wake up call. I mean we can all put signs around saying “Looters will be shot on sight”, but how do you explain that to the woman down the street when you just put a .308 through her 16 year old son? OR daughter?

Keeping things going and keeping the folks with the skills to build things alive would be the number one priority.
Until the harvests start, because that’s it folks, we are farmers now!

What about when they show up on your doorstep with straving little ones? That's one of my nightmares and one that could cause my downfall.

how do you explain

You don't. You just don't. She won't hear it, you were justified, and he won't care.
