Can't argue.Walmart will break first because they run the tightest JIT system. The other vendors aren't far behind them, they just have more fat in the distribution system. Up until now Walmart has been a best practise case study for business students.
I used to live in cattle and sheep ranching country in Colorado. Ranchers were having rustlers pull up onto the BLM and load entire stock trailers in times of plenty. Wetbacks would kill and chop animals up with a chain saw, wasting most of the animal.
I also wouldn't put too much effort into this year's garden. Desperate hungry people will kill you for a tomato. I would wait at least a year to grow much of anything. Let the hunger and disease do most of the heavy lifting for you. We need to focus on staying low, healthy, and uninjured.
Navy SEALS and Green berets have been killed by people who shit In their hands with unaimed shots from unzeroed rifles, best not count on yer bench rest shooting skills too soon into this game. Best victory is the battle you never have to fight.
The America of old is gone forever.....we really aren't much different than Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, etc. Except maybe for the racial and political divides that will explode on empty bellies.
WE were going over our ability to defend ourselves in this of need. The conclusion was that we couldn't.
The best we can do is make ourselves unattractive and a harder target, but they will still be able to take us down.
Plan b in times of desperate need will be buried buckets of food.
