So realistic ability to survive? How much cash do you keep on hand? Wouldn't it be helpful to know of internet outages to be able to get cash out of the bank before it goes down completely? What about the train derailment in Ohio? I haven't heard the msm say much or anything about it. But by just keeping an eye on other news sources I am able to make plans and to look into potential for health effects to myself, my family, my animals and the like.
You seem to want to push everything to the extreme when it's just smart to be knowledgeable about what's going on to make sensible plans.
And now that I’m thinking about it I haven’t watched the news or owned a computer (minus tablet or phone) in a decade except when hanging with my folks.
Guess what? Nothing in those ten years on the news REALLY affected my day to day except Covid and I thought that, smartly, was stupid as heck.
Now my folks & grandma on the other hand tend to worry about EVERYTHING, getting shot in every big city you travel to or visit, all 72 Covid variants of Covid, the Chinese weather balloons and whatever other bs they love getting you worked up about to make that commercial money.
Nothing sounds like fun like getting all worked up over nothing.
