    Either way they will lose. And for the life of me, I just can’t understand why everyone can’t see it. I guess they look through the world with rose colored glasses, blinders, and then a welding helmet to top it off. Once the trucks stop delivering to Walmart, it will be over in three days...or just starting.

    Can't be over in 3 days, starving takes weeks, how many depends on health, activity level, etc.
    Panic won't start until after the 3 days, when they finally realize more is not coming.
    Then, from panic to brute survival mode....
    Not to mention, various amounts of food sitting in houses, Apts, to be raided, and likely eating each other.
    Could be a number of months.....

    Prior to 1940, I would agree. In these instant gratification times, however... no.

    I used to live in Las Vegas. 72 hours of holdup of supplies and there would have been riots at minimum and every store of food plundered all the way up to the smaller casinos. (Larger ones would have had the cops on premises.) if such a interruption took place in the hot side of the year, fires would be more prevalent from people taking wrenches to fire hydrants and reducing pressure.

    Tinsel cities like Vegas and Beverly Hills will go first in a SHTF... THEN the bigs.

    Well I for one am glad we have taught the boys to be self sufficient and they married great women who are as well. Although it took this pandemic to smack Son1 upside his head and prove his goofy mom was right about getting ready. He actually said to us "This thing has made me realize we have to get better prepared" Of course IF he HAD listened to me earlier, they would have been a little better off then they were.They did okay but now he realizes why mom has so much "stuff" set aside. DIL2 has been putting things up all along so I'm glad for that.

    What I meant was after 3 days of no food, a hunger person gets real desperate, and will potentially do anything to feed themselves or their family.

    a lot depends on the type of SHTF and its severity - if there's a defining time & date >> 911, Pearl Harbor, ect ect ...

    ask 20 people when the Covid SHTF started and you'd get 20 different answers - Pelosi & DeBlasio/Cuomo were still partying away after Prez Trump closed off China - they were still battling the seriousness of the SHTF when Europe got closed off ...

    point I'm making is that 3 days or 3 weeks or even 3 years makes no difference when a SHTF is a low profile & slow crawl to maturity - people will be recognizing it for what it is differently ...
