Ron:<We have a month's food,a week's worth water>EXACTLY what'll you do if no food available after 30 days? If no available water after only 7 days? How can you put your family in harm's way with such miniscule reserves? An amazing contingency plan...incredible!!!! When these systems shut down for however long, you will have the opportunity to compete with millions of others who will be trying to acquire food and water AT ANY COST, IN ORDER TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY! You really truly are willing to PUT YOUR FAMILY'S LIVES AT RISK in BLIND AND TOTAL FAITH in unestimable billions of embedded chips/systems everywhere in the Iron Triangle? Do you not understand,unlike your pappy, NONE OF THESE SYSTEMS CARE IF YOU LIVE OR DIE! They are an equal-opportunity taker of lives- any of which shut down a system, or worse! 30 DAYS OF FOOD PREP MAX, 7 OF WATER MAX, BEFORE YOU CAN DIE ? You think that is RESPONSIBLE? Or, are you PLACING RESPONSIBLE of the gov to come help you and your family after 7 and 30 days? That is the most logical explanation for your miniscule prep contingency planning! BIG DADDY TO THE RESCUE! SOCIALISTIC DEMANDS AT ITS WORST! Madness! You spend more than that on all other insurance policies, that only affect your car or your possessions! TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE! Wonder if the divorce courts will be open for business next year?
