Like you, I suspect that when the gummint checks stop there will be many folks running around “with their hair on fire”. Kurt Vonnegut wrote about a similar scenario decades ago and he called them “The Army of Mars”. I suspect that like “The Army of Mars” folks with their hair on fire will last about as long. We really only need to worry about how to survive that brief period and then pick up the pieces and move on. As Beck has predicted, the trick will be how to keep the plutocrats and thugs from “getting to the pieces first.”

I don't suspect at all - if you could cut off all food distribution and sales today, there will be people in serious trouble just a week or two out. There are people who think they are okay for a few weeks, but remove electricity or natural gas from the equation, and they will be in trouble.
