It might not seem like it based on my various thread and comment posts, but, I'm personally of the belief that things will turn around rather quickly (a few years at most).
While there are many terrible possible futures, involving various levels of communism, I'm fairly confident that the US will turn it around soon (e.g., think election fraud), which brings the COVID hoax down with it, and that eventually bleeds into resolving some of the issues up here in Canada.
The next several months will likely be rather revealing which direction this will go (i.e., The Great Reset vs. The Great Awakening).
During the short-to-midterm future, I anticipate some "turbulence", particularly for Canadians. People living in the US (red states) might experience less of this.
This turbulence would probably look like continued political instability, possibly violence (riots/looting), continued attempts to ramp up censorship, hardships put upon us via vaccine passports, and/or, supply chain shortages (particularly if the cyber attacks occur like most of us anticipate).
So, with that in mind, this thread in particular will be on some preparing people could do if they also believe things will turn around, but, will be rough for a period of time.
Here are some items which would be good to stock up on, anticipating temporary supply chain shortages, for city living:
- Canned foods
- Dry pasta
- Deep freezer + meats, salt
- Frozen veggies, berries
- Toilet paper, paper towels, kleenex/tissues
- Cleaning products
- Laundry detergent
- Personal hygiene products
- Tampons (for women, obviously)
- Socks/underwear/some clothes
- Children clothing (for families who have growing children), toys
- Batteries, flashlight(s)
- Candles, matches, lighters
- Non-digital entertainment (physical books, board games, card games, etc.)
- Bottled water (perhaps a few 24 packs, or more)
- Frozen juice concentrate (for children)
- A means to defend your home, if it comes to that
- Vitamins, prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs (e.g., Tylonel, Motrin, melatonin, etc.)
- Cold & flu medicines, COVID medicines (e.g., Ivermectin, dandelion teas, etc.), canned chicken noodle soup, cough droplets, hand sanitzier
- Paper, printer ink, pencils, pens, etc.
- Spare cell phone battery, chargers, laptop chargers (if you anticipate these breaking, power being available, it's something you feel you need, etc.)
Please feel free to add to this list. It is by no means exhaustive, just a quick brainstorming of ideas.
Many of these items would overlap with situations worse than described above, though, in that case, it would probably be best to get out of the city, and, become more self-sufficient.
