See, they're going to blame all of this not happening on the existence of Republicans. It's demonization. One of Alinsky's tactics, is it not? Some of them--not sure where, but the initials "BK" come to mind--are going to use this to justify violence on Republicans and Conservatives.
What the hell is that poster yammering about. Keep your head low stuff.
I can think of some times it is best to stay out of trouble, sort of being the middle dog in a wolf pack.
Snake oil is what I call those TV infomercials that promiss you to make your life better, healthier and happier if you send in $20.00 + shipping and tax to buy some kind of cleaning cloth or some new fangled cooking divice that you pay up the snoot for and use at best 4 times in 6 years.
It is true that in times of upheaval we do lower our standard of living for a time. Nothing new here, any time you are offered an antique car, a Ford made in 1943, ERRRR, ask some questions first before you put a down payment on it.
We survived the gas rationing in the 1970's nothing new, 1980-1990 the rolling black outs, We survived the produce strikes, food recalls that still go on today. Mom still has WW2 rationing papers for butter, gas, and meat.
I was on the Island in of Oahu in 1969 when a shipping strike caused the price for the civilians living there to pay $10.00 for one roll of toilet paper. We survived as allot of trading went on between the military and the civilians for items that were available to the Military but very rare to the civilians.-----Cigarettes, not the tax exempt sea stores, though those were avail if you knew how to get them.
I have had my hard times with 4 kids living on a military salary. Some times I had to wash the kids clothes in the bath tub and OH for the hanging them to dry outside on a cloths line-----
Mom remembers when silk stockings were so scarce woman were dyeing their legs with some kind of Iodine mixture and using a pen to draw a line up the back of their legs to look like a seam.
Here's one for you, back in the 1950's I remember Mom coming come with a sealed bag of something with a big orange spot in the middle. She and Dad would toss it to each other mushing it up until the orange color was mixed in. They called this Oleo, butter substitute.
Grandmothers used Crisco as a face cleaner and moisturiser, wore big hats in the sun and rejoiced when the dandelions came in the spring. The greens were cooked, the roots made tea and the blossom made wine and was sprinkled over potatoes. Water was conserved using baby powder to dry clean hair twice a week. Shampoo was a bar of Ivory soap.
So before TV there was the radio and the wonderful old soap operas and the Western, mystery, and Comedy broadcasts. Best thing about radio was one could move about doing things and not be held captive in a chair for hours watching the non verbal action.
Worse thing to happen to Americans is to loose the power grid. Darn can we survive a month without power and be forced to use our imaginations to compensate.
Don't know what the poster is whining about, no matter how bad it gets, we will eventually have to use our brain power to invent and substitute what we have on hand and can get. People in the past survived and thrived on their own with little help from the Government.
Why does the poster believe that if the SHTF we people cannot survive without Teachers Unions, a Cop on every block, Union States, surprised the teens that babysit are not forced to join a Union.
A bad day for me, this poster has to be very young to not take into consideration that Americans are quite able to make their own decisions to either live or die by.
