  • You need to define the design event before determining what the correct course of action is. If it is a natural disaster response, you should have enough food, potable water, and fuel for a few weeks. Anything beyond that and you really need to start questioning how the assumptions affect your prep.

    If you’re expecting climate change/agricultural blight, not all crops are going to go at once. You need to select foodstuffs to keep where there aren’t any equivalents in the market.

    If you’re expecting long term war creating embargos, there will be a calorie deficit over months or years. You are also going to have community members and government trying to redistribute any available foodstuffs from hoarders. Unless you are very wealthy, you likely run out of food within a year unless you can grow and keep your food. Even then, you’ll likely be caught as everyone is starving and you still have some fat on you.

    If you’re expecting collapse of supply chains causing mass shortages, security is going to be a major concern. That’s why people are recommending being armed and organized.

    It is the reason why a lot is people don’t take preppers seriously. A sustained food shortage beyond a natural disaster is likely going to result in an issue with a lack of security or the security apparatus has a vested interest in controlling scarce resources.







  • Doing a quick Google, it seems like the culling of the electoral roll happened and targeted non-Hindu people more than Hindu people.

    Given the numbers reported in the West Bengal rolls, I would expect that election to be highly impacted by the change in rolls. However, it looks like while the draft SIR got rid of 2,400,000 voters per this article, the final number in Kerala removed was only 53,229 per this article.

    Modi definitely tried to steal the election and I wouldn’t be surprised if it significantly affected some state elections, but it appears like SIR was muted in this state unless you have information I don’t have.

    Also, for others, I converted the commas to a western format since I have issues seeing lakh and crore in the same way that I see thousands and millions.
