This Is How Quickly Society Will Break Down: “If You Don’t Have Food Yet I Feel Sorry For You”
Record breaking winter snow storms… they might be extreme, but should they really be crippling cities across the country?
The Drudge Report is splashed with warnings to “shelter in place,” while reporting that food is running out, and grocery stores shelves have been wiped out. The East Coast is on the brink.
But should they be?
Here is a live exercise reminder that the system can and will break down in an instant. The population is simply not ready for a major emergency. Hopefully you are; but they just aren’t.
This is just a blizzard – it may be a worst-in-history snow storm driven by media frenzy– but it IS expected to pass through after a day or two. Aside from a few power outages and street repairs, things will hopefully be back to normal. It could get worse, but that remains to be seen.
Nonetheless, if these pictures of store shelves are any evidence, society is not equipped for even the most basic crisis:
Shelves starting to empty at Giant on H St. in D.C. Water mostly gone, eggs & milk too. #snowmaggedon2016

If you don’t have your food & groceries yet I feel sorry for you. #Blizzard#Jonas#Snow#snowstorm#snowstormjonas
