The real threat is getting old. There will not be enough resources to
cover our old asses and when your to old to fight or work the strongest
get the goods.
The US policy of growth is going to backfire big time someday. We
can all get along with less, a lot less but that's not the American (and
now the world's) way of life. We expect for things to get better and
better. Less work, more productivity and a higher standard of living.
Wars are fought over resources and beliefs. As for when the SHTF not
really much a person can do. Yes they can live for a while independent
of outside resources but roving bands would soon take what a person has.
