NEW USELESS GUYS
( post 2 of 2 today )

New to prepping? Yeah, you are pretty much double dog dry humped. Well, not exactly. You aren't screwed, you just have close to zero options. This is where you are forced to realize that the Happy Shopper paradigm is dead. For awhile, we could ignore that. So what if the mall is closed? Just order Amazon. But then, China said, hump you White boys. Do the Opium Wars ring a bell? Gee, thanks a lot, Britain! You had to screw it up for the rest of us. Now China, who, really, we never screwed as bad as most places ( shouldn't that count for something? ), is getting its revenge on all of us.

Three months. Three months since the factories shut down and enough critical items come from China that we cannot do without them. And yes, I understand, if it wasn't Bat Crap Crazy Soup, it would have been something else that finally was the spark that ignited the already dying global economy. It had already been in big trouble, unless you only watched CNBC and Fox and believed Trump that America Was Already Great Again, Bestest Economy In The Galaxy. Did having the Kenyan Reject run the place embarrass the hell out of me? Of course it did. But is Trump any better, as a shining example of Amerika?

Best Economy Ever. The Check Is In The Mail. I'll Respect You In The Morning. You Ain't Fat Baby, Just A Whole Lot Of Woman. We'll Just One Big Family Here At Corporation Rapine. I hate the lies. I WANT to believe the lies. Gee, wouldn't it be swell if we all got back to work again? Do you think I WANT a real job, guarding broccoli, hunting rats in the sewers and getting shot at? I'm a book worm. But not wanting something and facing reality anyway is called Not Being A Dumbass. If we return to BAU, I'll be happy as a pig in slop to be wrong.

*

I don't think I'm wrong. The world is toast, a long trail of kicking the can finally over ( Beer Virus the camouflage to keep our minds off far worse fates than Captain Trips, like starvation and civil war-for once the idiot commies got something right and raced to arm themselves against reality )( or, they are just scaring us so when they restart, we accept 1984 without a whimper, so happy to avoid starving we switch to SoyLent Green willingly-but that might still be wishful thinking ) . So, what do you do right now? If you are already prepped, good enough. Stay your ass at home. Pretend to quack in fear over Corona Chan. Home is the safest place.

*

Not because of microbes, but because of people. No one freaked out months ago. Beyond TP, anyway. I think they will certainly go nuts this time. Again, pulling stinky misshapen items of evil out of my butt, I'm guessing for the most part the globes governments locked us down in anticipation of the economic collapse meltdown. No one was sacred past running out of asswipe, as few non-preppers believe there is any other way of keeping your ass clean. Now, though, they pushed the envelope too far. NO BBQ?!?!

*

Running out of meat ( months ago it was just ONE kind of meat, not all, and for shorter periods no one with a freezer worried about ). I think that was the straw that broke the camels back. We all wanted a vacation, and the wife to stop spending money on shoes. We could still get “real” food ( beef and french fries ) if we drove through the drive-through ( even though they always hump you there ). We could skip a couple of car payments, but now we are supposed to skip meals? Homey certainly did NOT think so!

*

This is probably where the rubber is going to meet the road. Remember, “normal” “non-preppers” were the ones who wigged out over TP, bottled water, ATM cash, guns and ammo, carbs at the grocery store. They aren't as clueless as you think. Two or three days after the meat plant closures, I THINK ( I can't be positive ) that grassroots everyone is moving towards self declared End Of Lockdown. I noticed a few cracks last week, restaurants ( mom and pops, not corporate ) ignoring the no sit down order. Now, vehicle traffic is increasing substantially. People seem to be voting with their feet.

*

I'm NOT saying we will all return to work. Corporations are being payed good money to push the narrative. I think the meat plant closures were calculated as a ratchet up step as folks were getting restless about running out of money. But it backfired, as this is where people panicked about food. So they are now in civil disobedience mode ( again, I'm going with incomplete, local only information here. I could be wrong on this detail ). If I'm wrong, however, that only means folks are less of a collective danger. It doesn't mean the shortages aren't real. They are. That means you MOVE. Now.

*

Get in your beloved motor vehicle and start shopping. In your town, in the city nearby, and the metro area thirty miles from that. You won't get what you want. Buy it anyway. Spend the rent money if you must, THEN, later, if you must, you sell luxuries to make that up. Even if this is all a nothingburger, you will never waste money stockpiling food. Even if all goes back to normal, the freeze dried, the canned meat, the wheat and wheat grinders, the guns and ammo, all will be in shortage for years.

*

Your only concern is calories. And ammo. We are talking a newbie to prepping here. This is NOT for the old salts. We are staying at home. But if you have close to nothing, get your food. Every place you stop, you buy a large bag or two of something. Flour, rice, beans. That is what you concentrate on. Any other food is luxury eating. You need calories, period. Getting the base calories, you can hunt, gather, trap, forage other items to supplement. If you are weak from lack of calories you cannot do any of that. Every stop, buy a box of ammo. At the end of the day, the car is full. Continued tomorrow.
