Global interconnectedness makes the system incredibly fragile.
Countries like Australia canada russia and the USA are in the enviable position of being able to be self sufficient IF THEY are sane enough to choose to do so.
Australia is particularly foolish.
A food and energy exporter it strangles both these critical sectors.
Average age of a farmer in Australia now is 66.
Most are selling out to the corporations who are globalised and will produce wherever energy fertiliser and labor are cheap.
That is not us.
Should you stockpile?
Not if you don't have a large cache of weapons and if you are a city dweller there is no point whatsoever.
If Bobby stockpiled food and a hungry 6 ft 2 Sudanese teenager comes through his window, he is probably giving up his stockpile
Cities will turn to chaos very quickly.
I was at the shops with my fit and beautiful wife earlier this week and I made the following observation.
" Honey, men complain about the way they are treated nowadays and how modern women don't want them.tjey complain about their incel life. But looking at these sloppy fat round shouldered losers who are walking like zombies, chowing down on their fast food, lifeless humorless, joyless , purposeless oxygen thieves, if I was a woman I would shun these losers as well".
I think we NEED a famine to shake these losers out of their extreme derp state.
Nothing less will do to waken them from chode hell.
If it was only one teenager I'd have a good chance but
up to a dozen at a time can raid your home.

The cops could be 20km away eating doughnuts so not much help.
Our cops are not the people they once were
Pen pushers and public servant mentality.
I think a couple of starving cops with pistols would be nearly as likely to come through your windows and go after that stockpile.
I think the dangers of AI Shutting down banking or the power grid will make city dwellers extremely vulnerable.
Musk puts that risk at 30 % .
Sam altman from invidia puts it at 40 %.
They are BEGGING to be regulated but the only one who wants to call a pause is president XI.
Trumpy likes the stockmarket growth and American tech is full of nihilistic Armageddon types
