If this is mundane how do you think government will function?For example: Medicare/medicade sends 1 BILLION payments a year 50 mil lines of code assesment phase not done.Social security 30 mil checks a month 33 mil lines of code been working on it for 10 years with 27 mil lines to go.FAA is scrapping its 10 1980 main frames because IBM says they wont work past 1999 And they wont support them.FAA plans to start complete replacement in middle of 1999.Could they be up by 2003?IRS is toast real concern is no refunds in 2000.Defense department is toast,3 billion lines of code assesment phase not done. How well will an ageis or aircraft carrier function.How many imbedded systems on a abrams tank,f-16,cruise missle,blackhawk.I am sure that nukes have imbedded systems what is a nuke to do when its chip tells it that it hasnt been maintained in 100 plus years?
I am buying staples.Rice,beans,oats,wheat,sugar,salt,mucho spices and seasonings,rock salt to salt pork and beef,gas generator,200 gal. lamp fuel,500 gal gas, oil lamps,non hybrid seed corn and beans. canning supplies ,medical supplies,foxfire book series.
Hope for the best but plan for the worst.My grandmother lived through both world wars in germany the stories she tells would make YOU think.
