There is no viable plan for getting a family through Total Collapse.
Plenty of countries have gone through total collapse in just the last hundred years, fact is most families survive, not unscathed, but a majority of people survive.

Re: Meanwhile in Australia
In total collapse about all you can take with you are skills. I've witnessed first hand Cuban and Haitian refugees interned in camps. Those few with skills could quickly improve their situation. Any willing to work could improve their situation.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:16 pmNo doubt.

Malice hit it home the other day. How much money would it take for you to be that person enforcing the will of the state?C-Mag wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 8:54 pmAustralia: Shelter Dogs Executed to protect volunteers from virus

There aren't "good" people who choose to be cops. None of them are good. They are all bad period end of sentence. They all will make Monty's dreams come true. (How's that for a bowtie?)

Yes, that line by Malice, listened twice. He really personalized it with that.

Yeah, none of those people who are executing the State's will are good people but Monty's of the world will have them set upon you to do what they deemed is the right thing to do.

That's the future that was offered to the vulnerable and elderly 18 months ago. Shelter at home so the economy can thrive and the rest of us can go about our business.C-Mag wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 9:20 amBut it's not really voluntary.DBTrek wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 9:13 am
Well, if it's voluntary it's voluntary.
And I'm fine with people doing all sorts of voluntary shit I think is stupid.
We're only entering the red zone when we're talking about forced vaccination and separation of families.
Otherwise ... I volunteer NOT to turn my kids over to the state troopers to vanish into the stadium, thanks.
As I understand it, you are not allowed to participate in society if you don't get the jab in Australia.
You can't go to the store, work or recreate. You must be a prisoner in your home................... but if you bring your kids and drop them off to the Youth Command for the jab, then you can operate as a citizen again.
Well guess what, the unvaccinated are now the vulnerable.
Stay at home so the rest of us can get on with life.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

If you want to live in fear, you stay home. I'm not trying to prevent you from doing anything. But you presume to tell me what to do.

I'm certainly not afraid to take a life saving vaccine.
You're trying to prevent me from earning a living by getting all the pubs, festivals and film/TV productions shut down again.
Stay at home so we can stay open.
Sound familiar?
