The more urban areas are going to be the places where destabilization happens first.

15. For whom?

Just as low rent areas don't get 'sound barriers' when a freeway gets built among their houses, poorer areas are not going to get what you mention. You are stocked? Awesome. I am glad you had the resources to stock up on things. A lot of us don't have that.

Also, how are you going to survive winter without power and the means to burn anything for heat? Most of us live in such places. There is no way to remain in a state like Minnesota when you have no power and no fireplace. And, what about the ability to go find food? If the local store is out of food, then what?

That infrastructure comes from public services that come from local governments. What are they going to do when resources run out? Minneapolis has a population of almost a half a million people living in it. Do you think the area is capable of supporting that many people on its own for longer than a day or three?

They cannot keep everyone fed and housed now and this is after what was supposed to be one of the greatest economies we have ever posted.
