What would you do?

Huge natural disaster hits the country. Your city was hit bad. No power, law enforcement is unreachable, and people are starting to riot. What do you do? I'd be scared shitless. I have nothing in my house to protect myself and I have limited food supplies. I live close to a grocery store so I'd probably run down and try to get as much non perishable food and water as possible. You can add possible things that could go wrong.

You wouldn't be worried at all? If you could somehow stock up on a significant amount of water you'd have a lot of bargaining power. At least in a post apocalyptic setting.

I'd probably have died during said natural disaster, assuming it was some sort of disaster that's going to create stupidly large surf.

In reality though, I have enough guns and dogs that i would feel safe.

You'd also be a target.

Yes. The few countries in the world with carriers have 1...and sometimes 2. We have 11 SUPER carriers. It usually doesn't make sense to have 3 projecting power in the same area, considering pretty much every country that has a decent navy is our ally. But these are extra ordinary times...


Iran breaking the OPEC agreement is srs bsneses.

Rather than offering them the illusion of free choice, we took the liberty of choosing for them. If the U.s can't export its inflation, it will export war...or at least make sure they can't export anything~

Kerrigan :

Cerebrate, our scouts have just
identified three separate fleets
approaching this platform. With
Duran having disapeared, and the
bulk of my broods still on the
surface of Char, you'll need to hold
off the invaders by yourself.

Mengsk :

You sound worried, Kerrigan. Have I
caught you at a bad time?

Kerrigan :

Not at all, Arcturus. How'd you
manage to scrape up your new
fleet? Been raiding the salvage
dump again?

Mengsk :

I called in a few favors. Made a few
concessions. You'd be surprised to
see how many special interest
groups in this sector want to see
you dead.

Kerrigan :

I'm sorry to have to dissapoint your
new friends, Arcturus. But you
really shouldn't have attempted this
stunt. It'll take more than your
three little fleets to bring me down.

Mengsk :

Three fleets?

Kerrigan :

Don't play dumb, Arcturus. I've
already spotted the other two
fleets.

Artanis :

Kerrigan, this is Artanis. My
brethren and I have come to avenge
the deaths of Fenix, the Matriarch,
and all of the other Protoss who
fell before the Swarm! It is long
past time you paid for your crimes
against our people.

Kerrigan :

When it rains, it pours...

Mengsk :

Hah ha ha... The Protoss, too! Care
to take a guess as to who the third
fleet is?

Kerrigan :

No need to guess. It's DuGalle and
the remainder of the UED fleet.

DuGalle :

That is correct, Kerrigan. This is
Admiral DuGalle. I am giving you one
last chance to surrender your
forces, and submit to the sovereign
authority of the United Earth
Directorate.

Kerrigan :

Gee, that's a tough one, Admiral.
You'll have let me think for a
minute... You know, Admiral, I think
I'll just massacre your remaining
troops now and watch you die in
agony. How would that be?

DuGalle :

You vastly underestimate me, my
dear.

Kerrigan :

I don't think so, Admiral. You see, at
this point... I'm pretty much the
Queen Bitch of the Universe. And
not all of your little soldiers or
space ships will stand in my way
again.

DuGalle :

So be it.

You'd actually have no bargaining power. Any time I hear people talking about how they have a stack of gold, seeds, and water to prepare for things to go wrong, I just laugh.

Look at Africa if you need an example. Gangs of armed people have the bargaining power to simply take the aid from the locals.

When the chips are down, these civilized people....will eat each other.

There was one I saw on Netflix called "The Colony". It was based in LA after some disaster. Watched the first season out of curiosity, but it felt more like Junkyard Wars than any survival situation that I would imagine happening.
