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.

Just because it wasn’t accredited as a private school doesn’t mean that isn’t what it functionally was.

I’m also not surprised that this program was functionally better than public school since there public education system in the South became garbage when segregation became illegal.

It sounds like you went to private school.

There’s enough data from COVID that shows pulling students out of school creates students with less social ability than those physically in school.

I don’t think he has the contacts to do that. Daredevil is generally considered a small super hero, he works in Manhattan only and didn’t generally run in the same social circles as the Tony Starks of the world.

It also potentially puts him into a compromising position. What happens if the billionaire wants something to happen that will harm Daredevil’s community?

Yep. TSA didn’t care about the Teamsters sandwiches, just the Teamsters dipping sauce.

Oh, that’s not going to fit under your seat.

Most airports have the water bottle fillers you can fill for free, but most everything else has airport pricing.

Also, some forms of chai look very similar to explosives with their new scanners.

I’m talking about the Tommy Westphall television universe.

I wouldn’t take the use of AI alone as a sign of mental decline. The question for you should be is if this is the first time you’ve questioned his mental acuity or have you seen issues before and this is just the worst you’ve seen so far.

This is why the autistic kid is so quiet, he’s keeps finding problems in canon.

There is a concept in economics called price elasticity, which is how the market adjusts to changes in supply and demand. If there are more alternatives for the product or the product is a luxury, the price is usually considered “elastic” as people will stop using the good over paying more for it.

Oil is price inelastic. For a lot of equipment, there isn’t an immediate substitute for oil and people need oil to do a lot of important economic activities. So, if there is a reduction in supply, a lot of people will pay more money to make sure they get their oil, which drives up prices far more than the lack of supply would normally suggest.

That being said, goods are usually more price elastic in the long run. For instance, people might choose an electric car right now over a gas powered car because electric cars now are a lot cheaper in comparison for total use costs.

It depends if the cameras have enough image definition and are tied to an AI database.

Extrapolating from American technology, it is likely years away from China being able to implement this on a national scale. Even if they did, it would likely roll out starting in government buildings and transit stations first.

I doubt that a system is set up like that in China, but I could see that kind of system being built in the near future.

Yeah. A lot of state universities have programs where inmates can get degrees from behind bars. If you’re there long enough, you can probably get a law degree starting from an associates degree.

What a lot of those movies leave out is that they are attending an accredited law program to get their J.D. degree. It doesn’t have to be a good law school, just one that meets the education requirements.

Go to law school, get a degree, pass the bar exam.

Law school is going to be a lot faster than reading law.

As long as you leave them alone if they don’t want to talk, great!
