What are you going to do?
       What are you going to do if a State, like California, goes under.  Let me define goes under; like can't pay its bills, or issues IOU's (I owe you) that few honor. This question presupposes you don't live in California. For example, I live in Tennessee, and if California goes under it will probably adversely affect me and my Family here in Tennessee.
            What are you going to do if a major city, like Detroit, goes under?  Again, this question assumes you don't live in Detroit.
            What are you going to do if our present Federal President declares some kind of martial law, probably through a set of his Executive Orders, and even postpones the upcoming federal elections (for the President and the Congress) for some period of time?
            What are you going to do if some kind of wild card event occurs that adversely affects you?  Now wild card events are only limited by your imagination, but consider limiting them to mother nature kind of events, which will keep most people's mind busy enough. How about a major volcano in Indonesia (like Krakatoa in 1883), or the Yellowstone Caldera lets loose today?
            What are you going to do if some kind of civil war or revolution in the USA occurs? Both have happened before in the USA, and our ancestors survived OK.
            What are you going to do if some kind of regional war breaks out and maybe even goes nuclear, with all the follow on down range impact worries (like Hawaii or India)?  Think China, or the Middle East, for example.
            I am confident the reader can imagine many other questions for where they live...especially personal Family things, that perhaps they should think about ahead of time. For example, my older brother had a good friend move into his house while he got settled down in Nashville when he accepted a Governor's appointment, and he was still there three years later. Now I try limit others in time when I try help them during these hard times.
            My point is to just think about these hypothetical's ahead of time.  I certainly don't think they will occur, but they might, and it is probably to your advantage to have at least have thought about it ahead of time when you have the luxury of time to think (or worry)  about it, and its impact on your life, and your Family's life. Of course what really unfolds will probably be different, situational if you will, but just thinking about it is probably to your advantage, and often doesn't take much time from your otherwise busy life.
