I read the new posts in SR, but I am quite sick right now. Yesterday, I practiced fire-making with wet wood, and ended up inhaling a bit too much smoke, now I feel really sick, also having had much less sleep. Curiously enough, I noticed that when I inhale smoke/fumes/fire, despite the pain, I get a pretty flat belly. Maybe it melts the belly fat.
ANYWAYS, more importantly, it seems USA is in quite a bit of a miniature civil war. To those who live in major American cities, I would suggest leaving them, and living in towns or smaller cities, if you can, to better increase the chance of avoiding civil strife. It seems that Black Lives Matter protesters are used by a smaller extremist portion as human shields or human distractions, to then kill cops or white people. This is classic guerilla warfare, which will lead to paramilitary or even militarized police serving as infantry, snipers, grenadiers, or what have you, driving around in squads inside armored vehicles.
If you are stuck in a city, or don't want to move out, be sure to stockpile food, water, medicine, batteries, clothes, and whatnot, in case the power or running water goes out. Historically, in the modern world, guerillas sometimes do destroy power plant, water generators, sewerages, and whatnot, so it pays to be prepared, just in case.
