I'm not saying everyone is going to get out. Lots of people will die. That's obvious.

But it's a false sense of security thinking that just because someone lives out in the country they'll be safe from others looking to survive.

It's ludicrous that you think people in a life-or-death situation wouldn't do something as simple as walking or biking away from the city/suburbs because it's a little inconvenient or causes some discomfort.

Look at what illegal immigrants do to get here. Many of them walk for months to get here. They cross deserts and rivers. If you're right about Americans being too stupid and lazy to walk out of cities, then whenever the US rebuilds, it's going to be mostly people from Mexico and Central America, because they're certainly able to survive harsh situations.

Seriously, if you were visiting someone in the closest city to where you lived when it happened, would you just throw your hands up in the air and sit around, waiting to die? Or would you find a backpack, some bottled water or gatorade, and a jar of peanut butter or some other calorically dense food, steal the nearest bike, and head home?

Also, I have no idea what you mean by this:

Very few people are able to be self reliant. We have millions of people in the hidden areas of our culture that do things to keep people able to complain about how racist someone is—these people do some very important work. Without electricity they will not be able to do it.

Could you clarify that for me, please?
