You see it coming too, don't you?
Wife and I were talking about 'what ifs' yesterday or the day before. She thinks we ought to stockpile long-term food, like our friends down in Alabama are doing. I think we've got enough to tide us over and I don't believe one could stockpile a quantity sufficient to last through a Depression. Who would want to eat that crap for 10 years or so? ... Especially when I think it'll last at least 20.
I like that you included the status of your health in defining your situation. Unfortunately a single medical catastrophe is all it takes. A bad fall resulting in a break might be the end for most of us, let alone a gunshot wound to the guts.
We should have turned off the electricity a long time ago to see what the real effects will be like. Too costly now to just try it on a whim.
