Please comment on my post 47 (think that’s the number) about no fuel for those cop types who would want to confiscate our water/food/preps. Do you think I’m wrong about that? It makes sense to me but you could have a different opinion and, as you know, I give credibility to you for what you know.
Shows what you know... I'm just a cook. ;)
I think your big picture is correct, if details aren't exactly.
Logistics to feed 1400 folks is a big hairy deal. I've done it.
To feed 350 million? Gotta be industrialized. No way is going from house to house, searching for overstocked pantries going to feed the US of A.
Government CAN'T raid our pantries, even if they wanted to. a) we're too distributed b) they aren't that good (see govt housing or education and extrapolate) c) we're pains in the ass that won't cooperate. Even if it's in our best interest.

You didn't ask me, but . . . I don't agree. There is a huge difference between no fuel and not enough fuel. I expect that the government (and trucks) will have fuel even if its availability to the people is very limited. Frankly, I'd feel safer if the government was immobilized in a SHTF situation, but I expect them to be meddling, always a day late and a dollar short, and then second guessing what we do in response to the chaos. However, I don't think they will have the manpower to search homes at random. Those who are prepared simply have to avoid letting untrustworthy neighbors know (and avoid letting even the trustworthy ones know more than necessary).
