I think that 90% of people will stay at home and wait for the government rescuers to save them.
“I think that 90% of people will stay at home and wait for the government rescuers to save them.”
I believe that is right especially if they have children. Unless they are heading out to grandmother’s house, they will stay home - and die - and if they hesitate to go to grandmother’s house, they will never get there.
I wish I could speak to every person not prepared in this country. It weighs on me more with every passing day. If they all read the articles I wrote, they could save themselves but they don’t know those are there and if they are sure nothing is going to happen, they wouldn’t read them anyway. I saw/read several days ago that 3% of the population had anything stored.
If you recall an article posted in the last few days, the US government is going to have a training day in November to simulate what will happen if an enemy explodes a nuclear device in the air and brings down the entire country grid. Companies and police across the country will participate. The article said they would assume all deliveries of food and medicine and medical care stops. That will be an eye opener if the results are publicized.
But, guess what? We paid for the most expensive bunker in the US with water and food and sterile air and even a surgeon. We paid for Muslim Hussein and family to go underground, across the street and down, and enter “our” bunker. Are you and everyone else as important as Hussein? I am and spent my own money after paying for his, for me to have something to depend on in a perilous time just as you wrote about. Thank you for writing and I’m sending it to my friends.
Ah yes, thank you Matt for finally posting, as I’d looked for this once it was mentioned in a previous thread!
It’s funny, though... due to other FReepers’ posts, I’ve learned I have a life-sustaining crop on my ‘worthless’ bottom land that even a diebetic can safely fill up on. I’m walkin’ on that stuff every time I tread the backyard firing range!
