We had an ice storm last year, knocking out power. After 4 days, I tried to buy a generator. A new shipment came in, and I went to Home Depot to find chaos. There were six police officers surrounding the generators and breaking up fights. All social order had disolved after four days without electricity.
Remember Katrina? Thousands of people were completely helpless, unable to spend a few days away from the government teet without chaos. The entitlement class is growing every day....
I can absolutely see a breakdown of social order, if our food supply is interupted in any way, or if a utility company went banrupt (The Messiah’s words, not mine), if world events interupted American Idol, etc.
Solution - don’t own property where the entitlement classes can get to it easily (on foot). Own enough land to grow food/raise animals. Own a gun or two.
BTW, I found a generator in a town 60 miles away (nobody had lost power in that area). All I had to do was make a phone call and pick it up....
Everybody was DEPENDING on Home Depot to ship more generators in...instead of taking charge of their own destiny and finding their own generator (lots of government jobs here, so its a mindset).
