“The article doesnt discuss the effects of the inner cities rioting and looting because they will be the first casualties of this collapse. We wont only have to protect our selves from the economy but also protect ourselves from those who fall by the wayside.”
A lot of planning in my view depends on how worst your worst case scenario is. If you think that things will work out a lot like they are now, just with a lot more broke people and similar to the 1930’s, then that dictates one course of perparedness. If you expect something out of “Dawn of the Dead”, then it’s a whole different level.
Personally, I think this guy is outlining a more realistic worst case scenario than some I’ve been seeing.
One aspect that won’t repeat from the 1930’s is the dust bowl part which hit my own family pretty hard. But this time there will be a hit to agriculture anyway. We’re headed for some wet years-—the recent eastern tornadoes and the current Mississippi floods are all that need to be mentioned. Currently most of our Northwest grain goes to Asia so we might have to outbid the Chinese for our own grain.———All the more reason to lay in all of that sort of thing you have room for.
