Don't worry about needing too much food. If it's beyond that time, people will be ransacking those that have the food. During the great depression, the countryside was dangerous, not the cities.

But who knows in the current day.

I recently was watching a best of George Carlin video on YouTube and I didn't really feel deep that this mess is really from the people. I always thought that maybe if things weren't so corrupt, they would want better for themselves and each other.

Boy, these days I'm reminded of the saying

"Good times make weak men

Weak men make bad times

Bad times make strong men

Strong men make good times."

Similar to the Chinese dynastic cycle.
