Sorry for the black pill… but there’s really no other way to address this issue. we NEED to be prepared for the worst case scenario even though we may not ever get there. And those who have not yet prepared, let’s help them out.
Here’s why one needs to be prepared for the worst…

I think it’s time we help each other with preparing for potentially the worst. I believe we will jump into a severe depression, so our commodities may actually end up being tradable goods and benefit us.
Please contribute information for our fellow community members who may not understand much about prepping. I will comment below as well.
And on top of all that, don’t go forget to pay your taxes. 🙃
went to dinner with new friends --the husband is based-- works with mine-- but the wife's hobby is to binge watch tv, gets her news from cnn, and works in a hospital. aggghhh -- nice lady but VERY naive! (& no, she's not fat. just brainwashed.)
I will have to get to know her better -- and control myself better than last time -- if I have any hope of educating her.
I think of it like this: when my daughter was in the 6th grade, the little sisters were being sued over their unwillingness to fund abortions. I simply asked, "What if I made you take part of your allowance every week to pay for cat abortions, because, you know there are too many cats and they will just have a bad life without a good home."
Sweet sweet girl, highly principled, was HORRIFIED at the thought of someone killing kittens.
