18 - Be Prepared

Do you believe that preppers are a few cards short of a full deck?
Do you assume that anyone that is "preparing for doomsday" does not
have their elevator going all the way to the top floor? Well, you
might want to read this first before you make a final decision that
all preppers are crazy. The information that you are about to read
shook me up a bit when I first looked it over. To be honest, I had
no idea how incredibly vulnerable our economic system is to a
transportation disruption. I am continually getting emails and
comments on my websites asking "how to prepare" for what is coming,
so when I came across this information I knew that I had to share
it with all of you. Hopefully what you are about to read will
motivate you to prepare like never before, and hopefully you will
share this information with others.

Originally, I was going to write an article about the rising
unemployment in Europe today. Did you know that unemployment in the
eurozone is now at a 15 year high? It has risen for 10 months in a
row with no end in sight.

But I have written dozens of articles about the economic crisis in
Europe already. So before starting on that article I started
thinking of all the "preparation" questions I have been getting
lately and I went over and checked out one of my favorite
preparation websites: shtfplan.com.

Well, an article had just been posted over there about a report put
out by the American Trucker Associations entitled "When Trucks
Stop, America Stops".

I went and found that original report and I was stunned as I read
it.

The truth is that our "just in time" inventory and delivery systems
leave us incredibly vulnerable to a nationwide disaster.

You see, it is very expensive to hold and store inventory, so most
manufacturers and retailers rely on a continual flow of deliveries
that are scheduled to arrive "just in time", and this significantly
reduces their operating expenses.

This is considered to be good business practice for manufacturers
and retailers, but it also means that if there was a major
nationwide transportation disruption that our economic system would
grind to a halt almost immediately.

Once store shelves are picked clean, they would not be able to be
replenished until trucks could get back on the road. In the event
of a major nationwide disaster, that could be quite a while.
