Survival Tips

[Deleted]

There are so many things that can ruin the world as we know it. I know that lately a lot of folks that I am working with and know are getting cancer. I believe it is in the environment that we live in. Here is an article that I found...if you all know of any survival tips...please share!

This is not something you should buy...but something to research.

No one knows what will spark the next great war, but I have a good idea.


It's not metal, wood, politics, religion, or oil.

In fact it is the most abundant resource on the planet.

Water.


While the earth is covered in water, we can only use less than 1% of it and most of that is stored in aquifers that are miles underground.

We are running out of water and running out of time.

The population is growing at an exponential rate, and we are drinking the earth dry and soiling anything that is left.

It is very likely that World War 3 may be fought not for land or oil but for the last ounce of water.

Unlikely. Water takes up 2/3rds of the Earth's surface and is constantly recycled through normal evaporation. Nor is the population expanding that much - on the contrary more and more it is plateauing as more nations become wealthier.

You are right Monk...the oceans are even rising. Maybe we could repay our debt China with drinking water. I read where cattle will become to expensive to raise that we will all be eating our vegetables by 2040. There are so many things to worry about...did you hear about the foodstamp problem ? No one was able to use them so the folks just left thousands of buggys full at the checkout stands for the wal-mart workers to put back. Then they fixed the problem with one exception...there was no limit ...so folks called their friends and checked out up to 20 buggies full of food.
So now that water is no threat...what about cyber terriosim? What would we do if those plastic cards in our purses or wallets won't work?

Now what are we going to do about the 22 million families that depend on food stamps...they suspect crime to go up.
Regardless of your position on the SNAP program, this news is going to impact much more than the families that are on government assistance

Any prepper or survivalist knows that the first step to any riot is almost always the same...

“If you look across the world, riots always begin typically the same way: when people cannot afford to eat food,” Margarette Purvis, the president and CEO of the

Food Bank for New York City, told Salon Monday. Purvis said that the looming cut would mean about 76 million meals “that will no longer be on the plates of the poorest families” in NYC alone – a figure that outstrips the total number of meals distributed each year by the Food Bank for New York City, the largest food bank in the country.

“There will be an immediate impact,” she said.

This article,written by Tim Fernholz on Quartz.com, lays out the basics of what can be expected from this past Friday's food stamp reduction:

Today marks a milestone on the road from recession: The expiration of a 13.6% expansion to US food subsidies for the poor included in the fiscal stimulus bill in 2009.

While the need for support hasn’t necessarily reduced (unemployment and hunger are still unusually high) there is little appetite to extend the law, and grocery budgets will shrink.

- $5 billion is being cut in the coming year. The average benefit is $278 a month for the 48 million recipients of food assistance; a household of four will see that cut by $36. According to the independent Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, in 2014, benefits will be less than $1.40 per person per meal.

More than 80% of households using the subsidy have incomes below the poverty line.

It's not just the people that are hurting...
