Oh I remember, cargo trains are being looted in LA and Chicago, I think. There is drone footage showing all the packages on the ground, it really looks like a landfill after all the scavenging.

Just wait until the vax deadline for truckers. And then there is China shutting down major ports due to pandemic. Things are about to get crazy.

At least I have plenty of ammo.

I'm not a mid or post tribber so i wont be here during that horrible period ( thank you Jesus ) but i'm still concerned about those who will.
I still consider myself a "prepper" in that i like to be prepared as much as i can for any natural disaster that may come my way. I'm in Canada and we know very well how bad winter storms can get , we've went thru many snowmageddons over the years .

Here's a list of the preppy things i do : keep in mind im retired ( formerly a electrician ) and single with no dependents

1. I keep a large pantry full of canned goods enough to last atleast 2 years, perhaps longer.
2. My deep freezer and iceboxes are chock full of meats of every kind.
3. Unfortunately i don't have a root seller so i dont have much in the way of vegetables or fruit, maybe enough to last a coupla months.
4. I have a 35000 Watt gas generator on standby in case of a power failure ( which has happened a few times )
5. I have three sources of heat/energy: electric baseboard heaters , a oil furnace ( which i rarely use ) and a fireplace ( which again i rarely use ).
6. I have a toolshed 30' long with just about every handy tool you can think of, packed to the ceiling with lumber and hardwoods , all kinds of power tools ( mostly battery operated these days ) and several canisters of oil and gasoline which i keep locked away in a seperate room.
7. Four snowblowers ( sure why not ? ) which is kept in another smaller shed.
8. I have two vehicles, a four wheel drive F-150 pick-up ( gotta have one of those right guys ) and a small four cylinder hatchback car that i use for darting around town.
9. Another thing i was thinking of getting into is solar panels, bin pondering that for a long time.

Thats about it, can anyone think of more ideas ?
What about something as protection from others stealing what you have. Desperate people do desperate things. Also water storage and water, medical supplies. Personally I believe in pre tribulation rapture.

Firearms and ammunition are hugely useful. Hunting. Self defense. Ammo as currency.

The supreme court seems to have blocked vaccine mandates for private companies in all 50 states.
Yes and no. They upheld them for the healthcare industry. I think they basically ruled "no blanket OSHA vax mandate" but that's not the same as banning a mandate across the board. The ruling leaves the door open, in other words, for other approaches to a universal mandate.

And then, as I mentioned, SCOTUS is still allowing vax mandates for healthcare workers.

We arn't going to be here so i guess they can have it all ? LOL

Well i would still give to others in need i wouldn't be selfish. Just a few years ago we had a blackout in the middle of winter. After a few days alot of people had to go stay with relatives or get a hotel , i was the only one left in my neighborhood 'cause i had prepared for such conditions. Two families came to stay with me until they could get things arranged.

SCOTUS is simply playing politics and throwing Biden a bone, since they allowed an imposter to be installed in the White House in the first place. Other than Thomas and Alito, these judges have lost all credibility and are a disgrace. Particularly Sotomayor. Since objectively the vaccines are lethal and toxic injections, the liberals on the bench are a part of the COVID conspiracy.

I also saw just today that they upheld the mask mandates for the airline industry.

In other words, what I'm getting out of all this, is that SCOTUS will allow vaccine and mask mandates if they are implemented certain ways.

Oh, yea, of course they would work it to their benefit. I'm just waiting for my employer to enforce it and I'm quitting. :cautious:

I did that with the new mask mandate in Maryland. They started it up at 5pm on the last day of the year, lol. I came into work and they told us, "At 5pm everyone has to wear a mask, and that's the new norm!"

I was already getting ready to leave the job in a couple of weeks since I'm moving out of state. I flat out told my managers I wasn't going to wear a mask, but I was willing to work my remaining shifts, and they would just have to decide what they were going to do.

They didn't give me any problems. I worked the rest of my shifts without a mask.

Oh, by the way, DON'T quit. Make them fire you so you can apply for unemployment/get severance/etc.
Oh, lol good point:LOL: but I'm sure the government will write something into the law or change the requirements to where they won't pay you unemployment etc. :cautious:

This happened with my dad. Fired for refusing to get the jab. Then when he tried to get unemployment, they refused his application because they said not getting the vaccine was "misconduct" on his part. So he wrote to his state representatives, who are on his side about the situation, but... outcome undecided for now.

Ironically his replacement got ONE vaccine but told my dad he's not getting any more boosters, so if they change the definition of "fully vaccinated" I guess they'll have to fire him too...

Oh they're already changing the definition and it's not going to stop with the third booster.
