Sooner or later this is bound to happen and I think the problem is that are too used to things working smoothly and not considering an interruption. Also, time and time again we seem to find it easier to recover from a crisis than to prevent it. It's really strange...
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI used to worry about people not considering interruptions, but I think recent events have convinced me I was being too pessimistic. Almost everything I use, from chairs to obscure condiments to imported canned coffee, can apparently make it to store shelves or my doorstep during an interruption of everything with no precedent in living memory.
- netsharc 6y agoIn the large scale, the current crisis is a joke. Do you want water? Your tap still works. Hungry? Put on a mask, drive to the supermarket, and wow, they still have food... That makes me sound like a crazy prepper, but if the water shuts off and the supermarkets don't get resupplied I'll probably be dead within a week.
