Because liberals are Satan-worshipping communist fags, that’s why.

I think it would be more effective to ask how long it takes for all of the grocery stores to run out of food after any kind of disaster.

Normal demand on a just-in-time supply chain exhausts food shelves after 72 hours. Panic buying, like a hurricane warning, will denude the shelves in 12-36 hours.

And how long does it take for all of the gas stations to run out of fuel?

Same time frame as the food: 72 hours normal demand, 12-36 hrs. for panic buys.

If the authorities are overwhelmed how long does it takes before thugs start victimizing everyone else?

Your answer lies in the 1977 NYC blackout, the 2005 Katrina event, and the 2011 London riots. The thugs come boiling out of the ghettos within 2-3 hours.

In Jr. High, I made a pencil box in metal-shop and a cool chess board (still have) in wood-shop.

In my early 20s, a friend and I rebuilt the 318 in my 73 Duster (still have).

"This is the first reference I’ve seen to this. I know this isn’t your list, but have you seen it before? Know of a source?"

I think there were some raids on small raw milk farmers.

Know of a source?

"Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied." And here is the denial:

Michigan DNR responds to allegations of 'armed raids on pig farmers'

Note however this line:

Golder said the administrative inspection warrant isn't a criminal warrant, it just allows the officers to inspect the premises in a reasonable manner.

This little line is all that it takes to authorize any form of a raid, from one agent on a bicycle to 1,000 agents in black helicopters. Who is to say that it's not reasonable?

The best form of prepping is to be ready for rapid flight.

I point folks to a book series I’ve run across - The World of the Chernyi - looks at what happens to folks after a wide area disaster. Food security is a major plot point.

I believe these shows about preppers were done specifically to discredit preppers and make them look crazy.

Why were one out of every ten homes sold in the state of California last year purchased by Chinese citizens?

They like the weather.
