But at the end, they need to ponder, how much food grows in their zip code? What will they eat when (not if) the EBT system implodes, and the markets are all looted?
I used to think the best way for a hacker to cause mayhem in the US was to commandeer weather satellites to relay false data of a massive impending storm.
Much easier to shut down the EBT system for a week or so. It'd be quite the apocalypse.
A 5-10 day supply without logistic support from the entitlement network. The place will be a melee zoo in 2 weeks of that.
Know this has been said before, but there is precious little food in the urban ring. A week at most, maybe another week with door to door scavenging.
They the ferals will turn their attention to the suburban rings. How successful they will be will be determined on how prepared materially and mentally suburbanites and rural dwellers are.
You have to be prepared to box them back up in the urban confines and then dictate terms.
And tell the UN there will be no airlifts.
