User ID: 78762874 United States 05/24/2020 11:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No doubts that people often live above their means (debt is outrageously high) and many people are only a few paychecks away from broke. Let's say there is a two income household with kids. They buy a house, get a couple of vehicles and plug along in life. All of sudden, seemingly out of nowhere (only preppers can see the writing on the wall) their whole world crumbles because they been locked out of their jobs for what appears to be an indefinite amount of time. So, it's clearly quite plausible that someone has a nice car or two and even live in a nice home. That does not mean they are scamming or have misplaced priorities or are anything other than a family in need of food during a worldwide crisis. Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. -- Abraham Lincoln The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. -- Albert Camus |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77556472 United States 05/24/2020 12:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its a wakeup call. Dont let your guard down. We are very lucky our food supply did somewhat decent. If not looting and cannabalism (overdramatic) will happen. Plan ahead. Never obsess. Keep your close confidants in the loop. Prepare for power/internet shutdown. If the GLP effect were to grow or any other free thinking groups planted the right seeds the TPTB would killswitch immediately. I really just want to go to a baseball game, go out to eat, and smile at someone. I am not trying to overthrow any Government over it but damn lets live. |

User ID: 78870678 United States 05/24/2020 03:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | its depressing..i used to volunteer at a food bank. there are some seriously needful people out there.. but so many middle class americans whose household pull in 150k together, they don't save.. i graduated from college living out of a dodge colt. no safety net..i was working full time,, no help. i'll never forget that.. it sucks being poor and you have to pull yourself up from the bootstraps and quit buying stuff. Grove And this is why we can't have nice things. |
