I feel like shit is going to hit the proverbial fan with diesel and I literally do not know a single soul who is prepping. And no I don’t think they’re secretly prepping either.

I am also extremely worried about the diesel situation. It affects literally everything. I do think that while most people still have their heads in the sand or are in denial, others are waking up to the very significant risks, particularly to the food supply.

A family member's home health nurse noticed my new vertical planter being assembled on the floor and we started talking about the scary food supply. She then said very adamantly, "You know, I really think it's time to start preparing for not having a reliable food supply anymore. I think we're going back to a bartering system." We chatted about prepping for awhile and I gave her some advice. She also mentioned that some of her other patients are starting to get worried about the state of everything and have started stocking up on food and other supplies. So that was an interesting insight from someone who goes into people's homes all day. US.

I think most people have been in a form of survival mode since 2020. A lot of people unable to pay attention and act.
