Nothing feels so good as knowing you are well positioned and independent of the "system".
When it breaks down on you, you go, "Who gives a damn?".
I have taken EVERY consideration possible in our situation, now the rest is the luck of the draw.
We are prepared like Kings and Queens. The larder is heaping full, our production, 75% current and our "know how" is ever present.
I wish more would take better care of themselves.
Instead, they will be forced to rely on those who may very well force them to make unfortunate concessions.
Bad choice.
"...once more, after the usual period of years, the torrents of heaven sweep down like a pestilence leaving only the rude and unlettered among you."
~Plato's Timaeus
