I've heard of a lot of preppers, if that's what you call them, that assemble lots of foods and supplies feeling that such could happen through deliberate attack upon our power grid or through pulse type weapons. One irony is many of those seek to find and acquire a pre-1970's vehicle, one without all the electronics in the control areas of the car in order to be able to survive such an event happening. Problem is though that most fuel stations would not have the ability to pump gas if such happened for their own electronics in the equipment and pumping equipment would have been destroyed.
Our worst enemy then would be our own selves and our own inner greed rather than rational thinking and working to make a uniform goal or goals to solve the issues. I would pray we never see such a time, brought on by anything such as natural disaster or man made disaster. Many worry that with Trump leading us that we are more vulnerable. I disagree! I feel that the weak feckless leadership that we have had under Obama puts our nation at greater risk than someone determined and respected such as Donald Trump. Obama was not respected by either our friends or enemies but rather was a laughing stock behind and to his face. America was being challenged openly by Russia and by smaller nations such as Iran and North Korea. With Trump coming to power I believe that others will look at America and our military with renewed respect and concern and I feel that it will, in the end, be much safer for us than it is now.
