It’s basically the thread holding everything together now. If grocery stores and supermarkets started closing, then the shite will really hit the fan.

I never really thought much about it before or realized how fragile our society is.

Or power plants, or utilities, or medical care.

And all the supply chains that support those places. Ultimately it all goes back to farmers. The overwhelming majority of this country cannot feed themselves, and the industrial farmer is the only reason we can support this population.

Yup

When I stop moving trucks we'll be in big trouble. Still doing produce and meat but it's getting more expensive with these guys. Shippers are starting to pay up now though.

As known by everyone who doesn't produce the vast majority of their own food.

You may not go hungry, but a shitload of people will, and that’s when shite gets real.

Our society is only a few weeks away from collapse at any given time if all essential services/businesses were closed.
True collapse due to emp would bring us to mad max in a hurry. Once this corona bullshite dies down my emergency prep is getting a boost. Will neve be caught with less than 2 months supplies again.

I’m thinking the same.

I was caught with my pants down on this one. Won’t do it again.

Bought several pounds of rice and beans when china started locking down cities. My wife gave me that wtf are you retarded look but now I think her tune has changed. I think we are about to see a large shift back to practices of our grandparents generation. More home gardens, more home canning etc.

So the store where most people get all of their essentials is essential to our way or life? Imagine that

Yep.

I think this has opened many people’s eyes to just how fragile our society really is.

The average American’s perspective of humanity and what it and they are capable of is clouded by their full bellies, water on demand, and places to live. Because we’ve not done without those things we have no real perspective of what man is capable of when denied those things. They are the absolute most critical things in life. Let yourself come in between them and their very survival or worse yet, the survival of their kidsl, and you had better be well armed and ready to protect yourself and the shite of yours they need because it won’t be pretty, and you’re nothing more than a hurdle in their way.
