Plus, it’s unsustainable. One day, and probably sooner than many might think, the welfare credit cards will flash “empty” and then what happens? Rome couldn’t keep up bread & circuses forever and neither can we. Reality will be a real slap in the face to people who have never worked and have never been trained for work. It’ll make “Mad Max” look like a junior high theatrical play.
When the electric goes down, the cards don't flash anything and the poor areas become a cash-only or hand-it-over society instantly. I would advise staying away from the inner cities and urban areas. In fact, stay away from any city or area is governed by democratic party rule or where the majority of its people depend on entitlements.
It's going to be full of people waiting and expecting the government to come and rescue them. It'll be Donner Pass as soon as the people realize the government isn't coming and the food and water has been looted from every store. Only then, will it become fully apparent everyman has to take responsibility for himself in order to survive.
I would never have dreamed this could happen in America where we have the richest 'poor' in the world. When has someone heard of poor people dying of starvation (mental cases excluded)? But the riots and looting of Ferguson and Baltimore are a red flag that worse things are on the horizon.
And the Whole Foods marketing people are worried that the 'poor' are too broke to pay anything for organic food and other luxuries. They should be. All they need to do is look around them and see how McDonalds is doing. In the meantime our government is stocking up buying more bullets, not beans. The prognosis doesn't look good to me.
