<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 748599, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;m not either.&nbsp; It would be nice to think that people who prepared would have an advantage.&nbsp; But the more I think about it, the more I try to understand&nbsp; how it may realistically play out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; You have to realize that maybe less than 1% of the population could survive in their home for a single month!&nbsp;&nbsp; Less than 1% has enough PMs to survive on, for a long period of time.&nbsp; If any at all!&nbsp;&nbsp; Even if they were worth $5k an ounce, you could risk life and limb going out to try to barter for food or supplies.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The key is, 100% need food, water, shelter, heat in the winter.&nbsp; &nbsp; What will the 99% do to get it?&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s the wild card.&nbsp; &nbsp; Will there be some type of order and if so, who will provide it (at great risk) and what will they be paid in for the service?&nbsp; And by whom?&nbsp; &nbsp; Who&#039;s going to man the power plants for free so we have electric service?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m positive the 1% could deal with themselves in a civil manner.&nbsp;&nbsp; The 99% is what has me worried.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m afraid &#039;1%&#039; is probably being generous as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; Does anyone think over 3 million people in this country are well prepared for a crisis and could live in their home without going out for a single month?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; How about 2 months?&nbsp; &nbsp; I would estimate that it would be closer to 2 weeks.&nbsp; Within 2 weeks there would be panic and chaos, unfortunately.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The &#039;prepared&#039; would have to live in well supplied and able groups to survive the first year and beyond.&nbsp;&nbsp; A much smaller population with no organization would most certainly lead to a takeover by a foreign country.&nbsp; Our resources would not be left to sit here.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; At that point, you may as well join them.&nbsp; Unless they were so oppressive you&#039;d rather die fighting them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
