I’ve
taken away:
1. Who
would have ever thought that toilet paper shelves would be the first shelves emptied
during this event. Prepping is important and must be taken seriously, as some of
you probably have found out recently. Keep yourself well-stocked at all
times with everyday items.
2. All
Government-appointed or employed experts are morons. They lie and with their ego
and newfound power/authority can singlehandedly crash a world economy with just
a couple fake news interviews. All the “Experts” are forced on us by other
politicians, TV, the Internet and news in general. We have no choice but to listen
to them, just be very cynical of what you hear.
3.
Prepping Inventory. Do not put off building your basic preparedness inventory
to last at least 2 months.
4. Within
less than a week after an event the store shelves will be empty if resupplying
isn’t possible!
5. Cash
on Hand. Credit and debit cards may not work or be accepted. Keep on hand nothing
greater than $20 bills. Be able to make exact change.
6.
Finances. Get out of the stock market as soon as some fool says “Pandemic” and your
stomach tells you to get out!. Set up sell levels such as a 15% downswing as a
trigger. It’s much better to sit out 6-12 months only earning ½% CD interest or
no interest at all than to lose 30-40% your savings in 3-4 weeks!
7. The
news media lies 24/7, get your news from trusted sources, not MSNBC, CNN or
FOX.
Well said, Mike. I think you speak for a lot of us.
ReplyDeleteI'm in total agreement, during this government generated crisis we just sat back and watched. Our family wanted for nothing. Parata Vivere"-
ReplyDeleteI'll add a couple.
ReplyDelete* A "Doctor", even one managing in a medical field may not be a medical doctor, rather they have a PHD
* A medical Doctor may NOT be a respiratory expert or an epidemiologist or a public health expert. My cardiac specialist is as qualified as I am regarding Corona
* Public Servants who don't have to fear losing their jobs or having their hours (consequently their pay) cut due to lockdown are very happy for the lockdown to take as long as it takes. After all they're not going to lose their house and aren't the least bit concerned about being able to afford to buy food.
* Died WITH or FROM corona? Big difference
* It's a family tragedy when an elderly person dies. It's not a reason to destroy the worlds economy when a person over the age of 100 dies WITH corona
* NO, a person in a car accident with massive trauma did not die OF corona. I don't care if their corpse did test positive
* The Corona test does NOT test for corona. Incredible
But from a prepper perspective it's best to operate that what you have now may be all that you have TEOTWAWKI. You may not be able to do the last minute run to the shops to top off your preps.
