The way I look at it. It’s not fair for people to be grasshoppers. Everyone who doesn’t prepare is a drain on public resources.
She should be happy that the government will have more money to spend on people like her, and all the “chosen” people, because of the preperation.
In fact, even the government advises you to prepare. She’s just addlepated.
These people are short sighted. Can’t see beyond the next TV program. They’ll be in for a rude awakening one of these days.
LOL
Lipstick and silk stockings are a must in anybody’s Survival Bag!

Mix in some raisins, and you’ve got a deal.

Only if the gibmedat’s leave anything to power up.
To quote Dennis Prager, for liberals, equality is more important than prosperity.
Equal misery is thus better than a few rich and the rest middle class.
You forgot the fuzzy dice on the rear view mirror.and hula dancer on the dashboard. :0
“Wait till someone tells you “This is the family you will be hosting...”
Which will be followed instantly by several gunshots.
“Second, they seem to have a sort of “eschatology” about crashing the economy, though they won’t admit that is what is happening. It seems that everyone “being in the same boat” is a higher virtue for them, and prepping keeps you from being in that boat with them, and it infuriates them.”
Liberals have successfully distorted the definition of “self-reliant” into “greedy”; anyone not standing in lines with them for gubmint services is hateful (the concept that anyone would be absent from those lines because they are working to pay for the freebies they’re lined up for is lost on them). I have plenty of camping things that made waiting out Hurricane Sandy a breeze, but in my area any long-term prepping is difficult because of logistics (limited firewood, for example). I ascribe to the notion put forth by a prepper on the radio some time back that you have to view your vehicles as lifeboats; “hunkering down in place” isn’t an option in a densely-populated area if power outages and gas shortages are prolonged.
Overall, anything that has people raising their own food and protecting what they’ve earned is undoubtedly a good thing; Sandy’s aftermath was a breeze in comparison to Katrina’s (the lawlessness and disappearance of local police, for example).
Wow, mopeds. I had a few back in the day. They’re great on gas. A standard Puch goes 90 mi.s on a tank -3/4 gal. With a crate on the back they’ll carry 150 lbs of stuff. But for a bug out vehicle? Lol, no. Not as fast as a motorcycle or even a scooter and they don’t pedal like a bicycle. They’re just slow scooters. Maybe your neighbors are just cheap on tags and insurance and think that imparts some sort of survival benefit? Weird. I’d go with an ATV before a moped. More speed, cargo and off road capability. Good call leaving them alone in their delusion.
Ten billion microseconds is about 3 hours.
Just a little jolt should do.
“I’m the fourth type. I’m the total nutjob that buys kevlar-lined Volkswagon microbusses with a year supply of Cheeze-Wiz in it, totally convinced that aliens will beam Illuminati symbols into sheep and that will cause a total breakdown in all civil discourse and politics.”
You are screwed. ;)
The “discussion” wasn’t entirely voluntary on my part.
I have a libinlaw that was helping us move to our homestead.
When she saw the stores, she figured it out and was ANG GREE! Irrationally so.
