Thanked: 884I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
There has been a lot of discussion with regards to governmental tyranny. A lot of it is justified in my mind. However, my stash is more geared to protect my family and myself inthe event of anarchy. Whether it's anarchy by accident or designed, it will be ugly if it ever comes to pass.
Our power grid is woefully under protected from the ravages that a BIG solar flare could do to it. Build time on a large transformer is in months. If half of the large transformers were knocked out, it could take years to restore the grid to where it is today.
If the dollar falls on its arse, and we end up in the same shape as other countries have with explosive inflation, people are going to do whatever they can to take care of themselves and their own. I intend to be able to take care of myself and my own until I can get to a place of refuge. ( which BTW is already laid out, but some distance away. )
I hope and pray that it NEVER comes down to either scenario. However, I'm a firm believer in the old adage that it is better to have something and not need it, than it is need something and not have it.Member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club, participant SE Asia War Games 1972-1973.
