Somewhere, > someone will need that. Just last night on a broadcast the Red Cross was advising people to have their pantries full (if you even have such an old fashioned thing as a pantry) just in case. Since they are the ones who will end up being involved in disaster relief, they know if everyone is just a little prepared, just in case, it can save them a huge headache in a short term problem, or if nothing else buy them some reaction time if it is more long term. It is true, that the food is there, but if there are shortages, will the decentralized farmers really have the clout to get resources allocated to them compared to the profit motivated centralized money men? 50% of oil is imported. Do you think New York will want to shut off the lights if some farmer can't get fuel to do spring work? The crisis will be imperceptible untilharvest to most city folks.
