Riiiiigggghhhht. After all, a transport industry which is over 60% dependent on imports which are heavily influenced by unfriendly nations is SO stable we need never worry about it. Over 20,000 independent truck operators went out of business the last time diesel prices spiked near $5/gallon. Much of the recent increase in prices of everyday goods - including food - is due to rising transportation costs. A severe enough fuel crisis - something that is a very real threat in the current political and economic climate - could end up grounding half or more of our transportation industry.
The blindness of those like you who cannot see the potential for trouble that will lead to many of those out seeking food by any means because you just cannot admit to the potential for trouble. Instead of inquiring as to the motivations of those who make long-term preparations, you belittle them, searching out some of the worst examples to throw out there. Why is that? Is it because you are as blindly faithful to the omnipotence of your precious mommy government as the most devout religious fundamentalist? Or is the thought of long-term preparedness repugnant to you because it means self-responsibility? Or is it simply because the vast majority of survivalists are conservative, so you automatically oppose the very idea?
So the topic has been mostly talking about mobs of starving people attacking and stealing our stores or burning us out. But we are paranoid? lmao
