In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

I am an admitted prepper.
I am very sufficiently protected from a disruption to food supplies.
I am of the mind that bugging in is better than bugging out.
I would probably keep working until things ground to a halt (I can work fully remote) and monitor the state of things as far as sending my kids to school.

Honestly though?
I don’t see civil war as a real threat where I am at.
Sure there are flare ups of violent events from time to time, but there is no real concerted effort by either side to bring things to a more constant and real level.
The fact is, life is still much too easy and the problems we face much too far removed from basic necessities that I could really see any one group pushing us into a civil war.
I hope I am right…

I hope you're right, too.
