We've had only a taste.

Having traveled the world many time over (both from 24yrs military and private citizen), we have minor inconveniences in comparison. The BS [they] are pulling is irritating, even infuriating, but it's nowhere close to what some people in the world have to deal with from the time they're born.

Am I dowplaying or making excuses? Hardly. Just placing a bit of perspective is all. Things could be so much more dreadful than they are now, most people wouldn't know what to do.

I know many here have given initiative to have a bug-out plan, stock up on foods, water, and ammo. These are never a bad idea....just sayin'.

Precipice is not here yet.
