I am hoping that some sense will be brought to play in this dire picture and steps will be taken, but again, I'm not counting on it. I believe that the famine is part of the plan to kill off 3/4 of the world's population. And yes, I'm wearing my tinfoil hat as I write this. It's so me. So. Four things people can do on their own. Grow a garden (even in containers), raise chickens, learn to hunt and fish, and develop bartering skills. I realize this is not an easy plan for someone living in Manhattan, but I do know some city dwellers who have freezers and go on annual hunting/fishing trips. Most importantly, look at your present life situation and ask yourself, what would you do if everything went t*ts up in a ditch. Are you bug-out ready? Then take it from there. The information is out there.
