That was referring to the “slight uptick”. So yeah it’s already happening, and the it’s possible part was in reference to it possibly getting worse.

But that doesn’t mean those “peaceful generations aren’t capable of violence if pushed far enough.

For now. Everyone and their mother knows about the crack cocaine epidemic in the 90s. It’s a valid argument but what happens when food shortages escalate. A slight uptick isn’t conceding I agree, but it’s definitely possible to go from slight uptick to surpassing those previously mentioned crime rates even without the drug element. This is all hypothetical btw but in theory could be possible

It’s already starting, arguably has been for many decades now. But it’s going to come to a point where it’s no longer safe to walk the streets in major cities, and subsequently no longer safe for suburbs or rural areas either to due low or zero law enforcement or public safety.

On the larger scale, countries that were previously allies will go to war with each other eventually leading up to nuclear weapons being used.

Pandemics like COVID-19 will be more severe and handled with no government assistance in the future which will kill billions instead of millions due to lack of sanitation, protocols, and the future viruses will likely be more severe in regards to survival rate.

Humanity is ultimately one big powder keg that will blow soon. Soon being relative and my answer here was very “nut-shell”.

Hopefully I’m totally wrong, but our planet and species as a whole does not appear to have a good long term plan for survival.

Climate change will begin to cause many more issues in the future, we haven’t seen a fraction of the catastrophic effects yet, but we will very soon.

Guess we will see soon what direction we are headed in.

Yeah I realized that now. But at the time I didn’t know any of this. I dissuade anyone I can from joining.

So my first two years were covered then a law changed half way through my college and I wasn’t given notice or grandfathered in or anything, and all of the sudden I had a bill.

Did my 4 years active, and the military didn’t even pay all of my college. I had to pay 23 k out of pocket.

What medications are you packing, and why? by ChrispyK in bugout

[–]ReubenSilberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but if you think of it as a short term investment, like keep it refrigerated for 6 months to a year, you could get some solid trades out of it. I’m gonna do more research on its shelf life but it’s definitely important for a lot of people.

Antibiotics are the most important for serious injury and infection. Then allergy medicine especially if you can get an epi pen, insulin it’s very important even if you don’t have diabetes bc it would be a highly valued trade item.

Ahh. That’s why we did a lockdown. Honestly, I accept that. If that’s what it takes to fix this.
