COVID taught me a lot of things, but one lesson, and one curiously ignored by most, is what a supply chain disruption will do to a modern (that's us!) country.
Let's say you somehow had a 72-hour armed uprising. Shooting, death, riots, blah, blah, blah. Yes, 72 isn't realistic, but that's the point. Anyone want to take a stab at what that will do to our country? Just 72 hours of violence nationwide. For those on this planet who inexplicably don't follow history, civil wars take "a bit" longer than 72 hours.
What if we were lucky and only had two weeks and a few hundred thousand dead? Call it real low 6 figures. Do you know how many MILLIONS, maybe tens of, that supply chain disruption will kill? Second and third order effects are real.
It would be really, really spiffy if the entire god damn United States took a knee, a deep breath, drank some water, and shut the fuck up before we find ourselves with a wee bit of a problem. Right about now is a good time for 330 million Americans to go radio silent.
Or get a bunch of dogs from the local shelter for food. Great thing about pit bulls and rotties, they are big and always available...
