I have to tell you that I'm far more concerned about the possibility of World War. Hell, we're practically there now.
I feel that some percentage of the left in the U.S. has been trying to ramp up the racial discord narrative in order to reinforce the divide between people. Those that I know in smaller communities across the U.S. are not in strife; they all know that they need each other to survive and there is little or no racial strife. That is anecdotal information and therefore not measurable. It only goes to somewhat support my ongoing thesis that cities are unnatural to the human condition.
Toward WWIII, we have been in preparation for decades. There is little that the common person can do, other than have radiation detection equipment/knowledge, a stock of open-pollinated seeds, water filtration, an ability to defend/protect your family, and perhaps knowledge of systems that might be barterable in the "end times". Toward this end, I can make several types of booze from native plants, and do so. Can also render nearly any creature into a serviceable sausage, for whatever that is worth. I can make coconut oil, and therefore can make soap with it, ash and sea salt. I don't know what those skills might be actually worth, because even in a sleepy little town like that in which I live, when everything goes belly up, it will likely be other people that are the greatest threat. I hope that isn't the case. I hope we all rise to the challenge, and forge a new world in which we can all get along and help those that most need it.
