wondering where preppers fall in this dynamic. Will they end up selling their supplies at a huge discount if the world goes back to normal? oh....wait!
I think they will eat their storage of foods. Ammunition will be used for hunting or passed on to their kids.
You think the world has gone back to normal? And that food and ammo are no longer required by a wise person?
Maybe ask someone in North Carolina if Trump being elected means no need to prep. Trump being elected didn’t change the fact that America is the biggest debtor in all of human history and the economy is far from a sure thing just now. Or believe it or not but covid lockdowns were very basic, a truly bad disease happens and you really could be in your own for a while.
War is impossible also. At least it seemed that way just before WWI, or a dozen other places and times.
From the biblical days forward, storing and prepping for hard times is just good sense.
But the biggest threat is America’s dire economic condition.
We’ll be lucky if all we face is a crushing version of what they call “austerity”.
A lot of people in 1933 looked back on 1928 and think of what they could have done had they only known War was coming.
No… no prepper likely thinks that now they can sell all their preps.
