Always prepare for the worst, and pray for the best.
I’ll add that when things are uncertain, some people get really worried and stressed. It is sometimes quite helpful to ask “What is the worst that can happen”.
Then ask, How will I deal with that? When you know the worst, and how you can deal with it, it loses the fear factor, and allows you to be less stressed, and better able to be clear-headed and make good decisions as the situation unfolds.
If you look at the situation our country was in from 1929 to 1946, we are sitting pretty good, but these problems need to be addresses. Unfortunately our rulers in DC see these problems as opportunities to be exploited. What the hell do they care, they will all be dead when everything goes to hell.
