Next World Emergency


Recommended Posts

I keep thinking food shortages, but not in the way other people think. I'm thinking something in our future may affect the meat & dairy industry, such as another zoonotic infectious disease like Swine Flu back in '09. I'm imagining a disease that affects all farmed animals, that may transition us into how we'll be eating in the new system. While I've seen quite a few vegan zealots on the internet, I honestly can't even imagine the religious uproar of hangry carnivores being forced to go without it. It's unnerving to even think about.

 

Also, I'm kind of dreading a back and forth nuclear situation involving the US, Russia, China & North Korea. A nuke could wipe out a lot of innocent people. I really hope not. :(

Yes, I know, I wasn't referring to that specific technique, but rather the awareness that was promoted and having everyone have an idea what to do. Granted, that specific technique was futile, and there was a fear factor involved, but generally speaking, it's good to have a healthy fear for the correct things.

As a schoolboy, I dutifully hid under my desk for air raid drills. I obediently clasped my hands behind my neck to protect it from “flying glass.” With a child’s imagination, I envisioned sheets of glass as though with wings flying about in search of children to slash. Glass didn’t fly in the more-or-less normal world in which I was raised.

In my generation were were instructed to lay flat on the ground, don't run when being strafed by aircraft and during an air raid to lay down next to a concrete wall after evacuating the school.

@TortugaYes, but is the average person aware of it?

I was, but you weren't, so far there is a 50/50 chance the average person is aware of it. 😁
