I have been other places. Nicaragua, El Salvador, Columbia and I know what people are capable of living in. I hate to think about children living the way they do in those countries but that future might be coming.
People in those other countries are Americans. American's suck at sacrifice. In general, we are a nation of spoiled people used to getting their way without any real sacrifice. How many people in this country can grow any food at all? How many people in this country know how to purify water? I think this country will get hit hard and a lot of people are going to die because we aren't, in any way, ready for real problems. How many people are going to be willing to knuckle down and live at subsistence levels? I think that this country will dissolve in miliant chaos if things keep going the way they are. Do you have any idea how many miles something like water is pumped in the western states to simply keep farms. lawns and people going? Imagine the chaos if money to keep that going simply dries up.
Sincerely Yours,
