I hope everyone is watching the headlines from the areas that were hit by Sandy.
If you had any doubts about how thin the veneer is between "Civilized Citizen" and "Me first", those doubts should be put to rest. Looting and fights over gasoline, even when FRN's are still worth something. The aftermath of Sandy, particularly how people conduct themselves, should affirm for everyone that commodities are more valuable than FRNs and even gold in a SHTF world.
The S has not HTF in Sandy's wake. These are minor delays and inconveniences.
In a real SHTF world, there will be no re-supply. That's when everyone will lose their smiles and facades. That's when a can of beef stew will cost you an ounce of gold, or more. That's when bullets, beans, band-aids and buddies will be worth far more than their weight in gold.
Oh, and a Federal Judge has now said it is okie dokie for FedGov to install video cameras on your property without a warrant. Here's the link.
Bullets, beans, band-aids and buddies.
You have been warned.
