Please post your track record and examples. What were you right on? What were you wrong on? I bet if you were Amish you would not have the same insights or observations. Turn off the media!
Most people can't really prepare for some Mad Max type scenario and I don't know that one would want to. Similar to a nuclear war, the lucky ones will die early on. What you can prepare for is some short term disruptions to your normal expectations, short term being 2-4 weeks. Some sort of generator is a good idea, little extra food which won't good bad quickly, something for self defense, but you won't need an arsenal. Again, why? You really want to be fighting it out for years? You can have it. Here's what's coming IMO. Biden wins and there will be plenty of hand wringing and sky is falling nonsense, but life goes on as we continue the gradual slide into total socialism which has been happening for decades. On the other hand if Trump wins the shit will hit the fan. Regardless of vote counts the Democrats will not accept it and will litigate all the way to the SC. Doesn't matter what happens there either. They will never accept a Trump victory under any circumstances. You'll see the party at large calling for insurrection, complete civil disobedience at every level, endorsement of all mob action. There will be a strong movement by both Democrats and Republicans for Trump to resign to keep the peace. He will not go quietly.Of course this will require the hammer to come down hard at some point. It'll be messy for awhile, but within a year Trump will be gone, be it resigning, a coup, or in a box, but no way he lasts. I suspect 2021 to have us all longing for the simple chaos of 2020.
I said in the beginning of this Pandemic... Stay Alert and Stay Alive. Don't get caught with your pants down around your ankles while spending too much time arguing online with idiots that says its a hoax or that its nothing to worry about. Concentrate on what's going on in your community / city and don't worry about what's going on anywhere else in the world unless you have a fear outsiders are coming to get you. If the latter...only protect your family and only your property. Don't worry about someone in another community / city. Seriously, survival of the fittest.

Make no mistake, this post wasn't intended to paint some kind of apocalyptic scenario. America will be fine. As I said, I prefer not to elaborate on the things I observed shortages of and then followed up with a deeper look across several channels. My take-away is that big buyers are planning for the possibility of a severe short term disruption in the supply chain. Those buyers would probably include foreign nations. It has too. As for the grid.... that was just an aside. I have no idea there. I do think a back-up generator with a minimum of one week's supply of fuel operating 8 hrs/day is essential as water. Almost.
I just don't see it. I don't see civil war coming. I don't see a revolution in the making. I wouldn't even call what I am seeing proper riots. I see band camp for incels. Its all very Darwinian as those you see rioting are pretty unlikely to produce progeny. In the long term it takes care of itself.
If you're on the west coast...stay wet...fire. If you're on the south / southeast coast...stay dry...hurricanes. wrbtrader
If you're in the soutwest...stay cool...hot. If you're in the midwest...stay low...tornadoes. If you're in the northeast...stay warm...cold. If you're in Canada...hockey. Think that rounds it out.
Here's an example. When I posted this a little over 3 weeks ago, there was absolutely no mention at all in the MSM of the Hispanic vote swinging towards Trump. Now its all the buzz. Not just in FL, but Nevada and Texas too. Its all over the media. My insights aren't based off the TV.... they are based on common sense and a lifetime of knowing and listening to people from all age groups, demographics, and economic status. Shall we go over my stock picks next?
It is impossible to really know what all people of various age groups, demographics and economic statuses are thinking simply by sitting in your house and shutting off all media....you simply are not exposed to every geopgraphical change in voter preferences or demographic make ups. Hispanic votes swinging towards Trump can only be surmised from polling in the media which is not really reliable.
