Here’s another thread on the same level as the last one.
You raise good points, but I just can’t see the value of storing that much for that long.
While I wouldn’t want to be just another person standing at the stadium during Katrina, totally dependent upon others, as a Catholic I would shortly be feeding all the kids and elderly I saw and would be out of food - trusting in God and in selflessness accepting my own and my own family’s starvation if He chooses such. Who needs to live forever, it’s heaven we’re after afterall. Faith of a child.
Save enough to not be a short term burden, but you’d be helping the neighbors soon anyway and no ones a supermarket.
That’s not to insult the faith of anyone saving food for 20-30 years and larger volumes, I just see the side that if we’re all “screwed” together, we’re going to take control of the bad situation sooner, instead of ducking down to the basement and turning more inward.
thanks
