FEMA has been quietly stockpiling a billion MRE’s. They say it’s a terrorism contingency. You wouldn’t need to feed a billion people under the worst terrorism contingency conceivable.

Dude! You might need to feed a large number of people more than one meal.

The ten, standing with pomp and glitter, race to their vaults.
Crowds, angry and wild, storm the shops in reaction.
Who amongst them knew in advance?
The eagle? The bear? The crown? The sun?
Nay, the sky seemed clear, the road straight.
Destiny was not a consideration for this race.

Fireworks heralded their day.
Returned have eight to prepare the way.
Blue light from beyond sets the course,
as death retreats before Michael's presence.
He'll walk and talk with all those that wish,
Oh what a joy this age will be.

A billion MRE’s will only feed a billion people one meal each.

They must think that only a few million people will survive whatever they are prepping for.

The article said “C” type which probably means carbonaceous chondrite. Many of the near Earth objects appear to be burned out comet nuclei. With their high carbon content, they have an albedo darker than a lump of coal

That means we cannot see them easily especially with optical telescopes.

Many of the comets break up into multiple objects.

So it is possible that this asteroid has companions that we cannot easily see.

One of these days a big rock with our name on it is coming this way.

Be prepared.

FEMA has been quietly stockpiling a billion MRE’s.

It's a billion dollars for for a 10-day supply of meals for 14 million people. 420 million meals.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yeah, but that would feed a billion people ONE meal.

Now, suppose they were saving those for just the elites in DC and fat cat democrat donors.

That would keep them alive for 20 years in their secret government elite underground paradise (guarded by Cyberdyne Systems Model 101’s)....
