Any Paranoid Preppers Here?

Sounds like the Democrats, never let a crisis go to waste.

 

People were building bomb shelters in the 1950s and 1960s.

The economy is all borrowed money and if the Dems get elected, it will be doomsday.

 

Was it mental illness when the left built bomb shelters in the 1950s? The Dems would destroy this economy in a heartbeat and take us back to the days of the Obama economy. What kind of economy has almost 100 years of ever increasing debt?

 

Every notice how you only start threads about people you believe you can tear down? Would that be a mental illness?

 

We are in a war with Islam for 1400 years, don't you know? Plus the economy is a house of cards built on a mountain of debt, don't you know? The Democrats want to abolish the freedoms given by God and enumerated in the Bill of Rights and you cannot have prosperity where there is no freedom.

 

THE OP is quoting an English source. I was expecting it to refer to panic prepping for a no-deal Brexit.

 

Not much of a prepper. Looks like my kitchen pantry

 

There still is. My neighbor is friends with a recently retired colonel who was in army Intel. Col. is building a huge bunker. My neighbor asked him why? He said anyone that knew what he knew would build a bunker and live in it.

 

I'm not paranoid about it.

 

No, but I do have some food and water on hand in case of tornado or something like that. I do carry a lot of food in the winter because I lived through a blizzard here in Indianapolis in 1978, perhaps the worst blizzard in Indianapolis in the history of recordkeeping. In an emergency, food on hand is better than money. Because of ethanol, it is difficult to stockpile gasoline, but there are stabilizers. In the old days, a lot of people had gasoline around in some quantity. Also, there is the problem of medicine as insurance companies will not let you have very much at a time. Another problem is guns and ammo as the police are unavailable in a widespread emergency.

I live in an upper-middle class area and many people have built-in generators with large fuel tanks and I am sure that they have large pantries with large supplies of food. If you had a two-million dollar house, wouldn't you be prepared?

 

Who knows. I am not a prepper. I keep a few couple months of food and always have a diesel tank full that could run my generators if need be. That's more for weather disaster than anything else.
