Just gotta chuckle at the twitter comment pleading to gov. christi and BO, "WE NEED GAS"...
Too bad they will probably never realize that they should have gotten their gas long before it happened... geeze people...
I keep my tanks topped off and my gas-stores full... I hope I'm never in the position that I need help that desperately... but if I ever do need help that bad my last resort isn't going to be to jump on my Iphone 12 GS SUPER MEGA LTEGSL100 super special smart phone and tweet to the president to come give me give me give me....
They need to break out their "Obama Phones" and call for some help... Obama got his campaign points for looking around and now he's gone.
After seeing what is happening in NJ and NY especially Staten Island a 72 hour emergency food and water kit is not sufficient.
I've watched several interviews of people on Statten Island who just can't believe that after 3-4 days the government hasn't shown up to help them. I can't help feeling sorry for them because they really expected the government to take care of them and they're still waiting.
Don't feel sorry for them. They like everyone else has/had an equal oppurtunity to prepare, but they choose not to. Just like the story of the ant and the [STRIKE]rabbit[/STRIKE] grasshopper. The ant spent all summer working putting away food for the winter while the [STRIKE]rabbit [/STRIKE]grasshopper played all summer long and did not prepare. Come winter time the grasshopper is starving and cold while the ant is nice and warm with plenty of food.
We all got taught that story in grade school they want to be like grasshoppers well enjoy your winter.
I've always thought that just losing power for an extended length of time would be all it would take to set off a SHTF situation in the US. It's only been 3 days and they are already looting and starving. This is definitely a reality check.
