Great post! Even if patriots are in control of all the important levers, it makes sense that they are telling us to be prepared. White hats don't want anyone to suffer (except the DS of course).

If every patriot had enough basic supplies to survive a few weeks on their own, that might save people a ton of discomfort.

Maybe the unprepared will only struggle for a day or two, but why suffer even that if a few bottles of water and cans of food could prevent it?
