Actually, I really am not worried about this one. I'm not worried about a lot of things these yutzes have proposed lately, except for the fact that the conversation has become bloody fucking insane. The Republicans' ultimate goal is to dismantle government completely, and their primary method of doing so is to demonstrate that government doesn't work and is evil.
Which, of course, is going to be the case, when the people in charge of it have no desire to get anything done, and are evil.
Disagree. *They* don't want to dismantle the government. You are right, that government their way doesn't work and is evil, but their goal is fear, uncertainty, doubt, totalitarianism, and Thoughtcrime. Fnord, Fnord.
What's *gonna happen* is that *we* are going to dismantle their sad excuse for a government... the question is, are we gonna get the rebuild right or are we going to royally screw the pooch.
I hope we don't royally screw the pooch; if the wheels all come off and our infrastructure goes to hell I've about six weeks to live.
Agreed. I think a lot of us round here on lj and DW have about a month, tops, if our current medical infrastructure goes away, or even wobbles significantly, or drops too many *more* large swathes of people. And don't get me started on failure of food or water delivery infrastructure for places like Los Angeles, or any other big urban centers.
Dude. Dinner is easy. It's the meds that are gonna be difficult.
(Actually, come to think of it, IF I can get the dosing right, one good slaughter and some careful dessicating and capping and I *should* be ok for a while. annathepiper discussed this a while back, that if the zombies came, if we could kill us a pig, we could split up the thyroid and keep ourselves going...)
Now, some folk need hi-zoot synth meds that can *only* be genned in a lab. That's gonna be hell.
No, if the fit hits the shan, find me. If it's only medium bad, look for me sommat west of where the old Monster used to be; if it's REALLY bad, and you miss catching me around here, head for Grants Pass, Oregon. Like Seanan said to.
Oh, and suggest learning to cook for yourself. It's a lot of fun, and healthier.

So, you're saying you'll last about two weeks more than I will.
If the infrastructure goes to hell, I have no idea where I'm going to get dinner. I figure I'll starve in four weeks, tops.
