The way people depend on someone else is how the commies are grabbing them by the round things! Be Well, RZ. ........ All part of the dumbing down of America...... Don't you dare be self reliant and have any sense of independence. Why; just relax and let big brother handle everything.

Everybody should have a potable generator , either set up as a home backup, or just sitting in the garage for when needed.
Mine is 10kWatts, gas or propane hooked up to a transfer switch.. It is still manual, so I have to make the transfer myself, won’t do it if I am not home.
Tied into my 120gal propane tank used to heat my garage.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Lack of preparedness is hard for me to fathom, though I have been known to procrastinate plenty myself. It is comforting having two years worth of firewood handy( plus Boxelder) and a years supply of dried goods stored . My family gives me crap for my "weirdness"! Ma hates it that I have Box elder wood stacked in the fields for emergency as she hates the stuff. I keep telling her these are the easy days and we may be fortunate to have that boxelder to burn in the future!

Genesis 41: 53: When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end, 54: the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt. 55: When extreme hunger came to all the land of Egypt and the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.” 56: When the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened up all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians; for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. 57: And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

There are lots of resources available for the clever. You can back feed your house from a high current line and jump both sides of the 220vac. This will effectively make your house wiring into a big extension cord. All that is required is all 220vac breakers and the main need to be opened and all high current loads be shut off or disconnected. I run a refrigerator and furnace with a 3000-watt inverter generator. I have excess power available any location for lighting. All the low current devices, cable and internet work. The generator will run 20 hours/tank. I keep 5 gallons of rec fuel in a steel container through the winter months. In the summer months the generator is used for the RV.

Natural selection is a thing. It used to be. Now the producers pay to save the ignorant/lazy. It's still a thing. Reality will assert itself eventually. There is no escape from it, just temporary delusions. The power elites know this. They have set themselves up to profit off of the fear and death, just as they always do. They create the conditions for the fear and death to profit from them.

The reality that will eventually assert itself is that government is corrupt, and the epitome of evil. The Founding Fathers knew this 250 years ago. The present day is filled with illiterates, dolts, buffoons, and simpletons. Just as the government planned.

You wouldn't believe how many city people who live in apartments and condos only have food on hand for a couple meals. Many of them eat out at least once a day. They have no storage for food. Exactly!

Watch my old hometown news from last night. Power out, getting cold. People are leaving their homes to go to a motel.... how is a motel gonna stay warm with no power? Shows people lined-up, filling small suv’s and cars with firewood! I’m guessing they have someplace to burn the firewood! I can’t believe the lack of preparation!!! If you have a fireplace, it’s winter time.....wouldn’t it be wise to have a small stack of firewood? It would be like going to the grocery store daily, and buying just enough food for one frigging meal! I’m dumbfounded! memtb I lived in Missouri for a year with my wife (She is from Melville, St Louis county) If there was a forecast of snow, you had better have enough in the pantry, because they would empty the shelves of all staples. I always wondered if people were actually out of everything or if they were worried they wouldn't be able to get to the store for a week through 3 frickin inches of snow / >;

Can’t say this is the reason for all the lack of preparedness.
I have listened to a few flat landers who moved out to the land of mountains and prairies cry out their woes for not squaring themselves away with items required to make themselves comfortable during storms and power outages.
Didn’t matter that they had ample warning, and time to get things they’d need. They didn’t and are crying about being miserable.
Back to the city for some....Seen it many times.

I can remember in Ft. Worth early '80s, bad ice storm and cold temps, they shut down all the manufacturing and businesses so gas usage for homes could keep up. Our power was out for three days but I had a full rick of post oak, all my neighbors were General Dynamics engineers and laughed as I was laying up a store of firewood (good place for rattlesnakes on the Southside, had a cat that kept them at bay). They did not laugh as I was not paying $9.00 a pop for two sticks at 7-11...

There are certain things a grown man, especially a homeowner, should have on hand. Being irresponsible can have a significant cost at times.

A friend of my brothers called him worried about a power outage with the cold weather. His biggest concern was the food in the fridge going bad with no electricity.... you can’t make this stuff up... I wonder if he's ever locked the keys in his convertible with the top down????? #XidenVoter
