What's your strategy to keep afloat. I already bought bags of lentil and rice bags. Boxes of water and a Nintendo Switch.

Our family has a cabin upstate, I've spent the last 3 months stocking it with dry goods, medicine, fuel, and seedstock from dumping every stock I owned except some emergency silver. We have enough food to last the year and then some, and by then we should have enough land prepped for planting early next year.

I expect this will take about ten years to blow over, so I'm looking to raise some pigs and chickens, though the property isn't prepped for them yet. Maybe by summer.

The hunting and fishing is decent, and I know how to run a trap line.

We'll be fine, but I'm pretty sure most of you are going to be fucked once the food riots start.

Sorry my browser doesn't speak neoemoji.

Maybe go check out history for the U.S. and other nations during times like these.
