thing is not everyone will go instant SS
your neighbors might just start little SS ventures.
they don't have to put in hog pens, chicken coops and large gardens and learn canning overnight lol
I don't think that "not" having a chicken coop or big garden etc...you know, things you can see with the eye in a persons yard, doesn't mean they aren't becoming more SS.....they might be stockpiling canned good in the pantry supplied by someone else---not doing their own garden work to supply that.
They might be investing their money more careful knowing prices or job insecurities etc are looming worse for the future, making double payments on their mortgage if they can etc
All SS type survival things don't have to be seen in the neighborhood.
I know my friends and people I chat with in general are not taking this economy lightly. All are conserving, learning to cut costs by doing more things themselves etc....but just cause someone manicures their lawn or builds a pool doesn't mean they are clueless of the bad issues in the country right now, it doesn't make them blind at all.
I know times are going to get worse--I see it--but I also do not stop living my life. I buy the items that effect my personal life to the degree I can afford etc etc---but someone might see it as unnecessary spending etc....or think why in the world would I buy that item now when times are so bad....again, you can't assume anything about people like that in general.
I am one of those people with nice stuff....and I am a total SS type farmer gal....so I live both those lines lol
I just don't think most Americans are in denial. We all see what is coming---some will react slower to changes in their lifestyle, some might never change and don't have too---and some will fall flat and have to rebuild. All times that have happened before in this country and all have somehow survived.
Will be an interesting future...I can't wait to see how this all pans out...or if it ever does?
