If people were aware, en masse, of the extent of what we're facing, grocery store shelves would be empty tomorrow and most other essential goods would be sold out the day after that.
We would be combining households, planting gardens, minimizing all of our expenses, and trying to sell our cars. (Though there would be no market for cars because everyone would know they'll be useless soon enough.)

A small group of people are willing to acknowledge crisis before it strikes, and go out of their way to prepare. A larger group will come to terms with the reality as it sets in. Many will resist the truth until they have no choice—and they are fully reliant on those who prepared ahead of time. Our entire society is dependent on oil in every possible way. We have not reckoned with that yet. We haven't even clearly seen it yet. 3/4 #oil #iran #iranwar #trump
