The Fact is that when [b]SHIT HITS THE FAN[/b], most of America will be utterly unprepared, and will be crying like children for the "Government" to help them...
The Government will be most likely looking to their own defense/security, and possibly setting up a quarantine area around the affected Metro.
Good luck getting food, water, electricity, medical supplies, or "protection" from the Government in that scenario.
Hopefully there will be no shooting. Odds are the prepared will need to defend their prepa"rations". That's Human Nature.
If you think SHTF is not a valid concept in this day and age, I have a good deal for you... Its a very nice bridge I'd like to sell, connects Manhattan to Brooklyn...I'll take 200 MRE's for a 10% share...
