Today I am struggling with people who think I'm suffering a mental illness because I think it is very important to be informed. I keep being told it's negative thinking and I am aware how insane what local government is doing in the courts but these are the facts because I know I'm a winner and like to be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best. It does feel extremely lonely at times like this. I don't know how else to explain it to people that it's not negativity that it's preparation for what may come and in my point of view it's harmful to ignore reality until it too late to prepare.
Anyone have valuable questions I can have in my knowledge stash next time someone unintentionally tries to break my spirit?
My sister cannot stand that I spend so much time reading and being informed. She’s made fun of our prepping. I tried to tell her to be prepared before the 2020 TP shortage by keeping an eye on the virus news and she blew me off, only to come home one day after a business trip and then she was having to frantically buy everything she needed while there were shortages. She couldn’t ever bring herself to tell me that I was correct. On the other hand, my daughter in CA listened to us, bought stuff in January, was prepared, and still thanks us for watching what is happening and giving everyone a head’s up.
Our daughters, my mom, and now my step-mom have learned not to ignore us when we tell them that stuff is happening. I told them about the Jan 15 trucker deadline and all of us are topping off our emergency supplies today. My sister will be scrambling later. I’ve given up telling her anything as she won’t listen to me anyway.
Hello - what's up with the January 15th trucker deadline? I've been out of the loop for a bit and missed this!
There is a Jan 15 vaccine mandate deadline for the truckers to be able to go across the Canadian border. millions of truckers will not comply and that will essentially shut down that border. There is a large amount of trade with Canada and there will be worse shortages (people are saying.)
I just read the story - oh well - you can't TELL people - you have to SHOW them. Maybe when they can't get all of their things, maybe then reality will sink in????
