[QUOTE="OKC9-12LEDR1, post: 2091179, member: 7700"] I've heard the same thing from several sources and your right, the cost and availability of fuel for those trucks is critical. We will have a lot more trouble than just food when we experience a fuel shortage or truckers strike due to rising fuel prices. Hurricane Sandy is a good reminder of the problems society will face. You know the media didn't report all of the fights at the gas lines, or grocery stores, or drug stores. Think about the recent Connecticut school shooting, look at the number of people, especially kids these days on psychotropic drugs. What happens 30 days after the drug stores are out of those drugs. Your neighbor might be a great guy, or his kid could play with yours and everything seems normal, but these people could go nuts when forced to go cold turkey when they suddenly can't get their meds and you don't know who these people are. Look at what has happened since congress is even talking about a gun ban, look at the bare shelves on everything related to AR's or common caliber bullets. This is a good example of what can happen when the general population starts to fear something. I see similar situations in many other areas once we see the inflation really start to kick in, or some other crisis. Precious metals have been "range bound" for well over a year now. Once the financial crisis hits Joe Sixpack square in the wallet, you will see this metals do the same thing as bullets are now only much higher. Who knows whether this coming collapse will be short lived and things return to "normal" in a few days, or something that continues to decline over many years. Argentina is still dealing with their problems over 10 years later. They were a first world country, the USA of the southern hemisphere at one point. It took the Soviet Union / Russia over 10 years to recover and they were much better prepared for their collapse than we are for ours. Having food and water stored is important, but having the ability to grow your own long term is even more important if you believe like I do that this is going to effect us for a long long time.
