Yes, it is kind of neat just to BS, but at least we thought about it. That is a lot more than we can say for the majority of those sheeple out there. For some of us in Calif., we had better think twice. I would have never thought of controlled/rolling blackouts.
Things could potentially go bad real fast, and if you are not prepared, you could be at the mercy of those same politicians(those folks don’t have a clue of what’s going on) that got you into this mess in the first place. The merchants will gouge the heck out of you. Remember, if there is any emergency, and you start accumulating food, ammo etc, you could be accused of hoarding. Also, ammo sales are banned a week before New Year's and July 4th in Los Angeles. It doesn’t hurt to be prepared. If “it” never happens, you can eat the food, and shoot the ammo, nothing is wasted. By the way, how many televisions, do you have in the house, and what did it cost?
