People have short memories, this is a time to build up stock not waste it on complacency, like that o'l adage "In Good Times, Prepare For The Bad"

I have to admit, the urgency is not as great as it was when Obummer was in the White House. Still, no excuse...

Prepper are a threat to the SWAMP. The swamp is working hard to force people to be dependent upon the government. But, someone who is self-sufficient will not bend to the will of the SWAMP. Expect more and more pressures (ie laws) governing prepping. After all, it is for the "good" of the country, RIGHT? (Just ask a liberal, they will confirm it).

the way I see it,when times are ok,it's good to prep, no use trying to do when SHTF, kinda late then.

Storing stuff when things are plentiful and cheap is STOCKPILING and good
Storing stuff when things are in short supply is Hoarding and bad.

Make hay whilst the sun shines as they say.

I’ve never I’ve never cared about what’s in style or is a fad for most. I don’t see either side of our political divide that is able to even slow down the deficit, so I just keep on keepin on with my preps. I think it’s best to just ignore all the news out there and do what you feel is wise to protect you and your family.

I've never bothered too much what other people thought.
"prepare for the worst and hope for the best". before it happens, after is too late.
