I recall an article about how some billionaires were buying up those decommissioned missile silos and turning them into their own private bunkers.
The guy who was speaking about potential disasters was approached by a few who had a question: How do they keep control of “the help?” Especially security, as the billionaires knew they did not have those skill sets or were not physically able. Some kind of device to shock them into obedience? Or some why that only they can get access to the food and keep “the help” dependent on them.
The guy was floored.
Personally, we moved into a rural area, and got to know the neighbors. For the most part, of those we know, we are known as good people.
As with any community, there will be those one offs, the A-holes. When SHTF, it might get worse. But, if you can put out a sense of calm, of cooperation, and even provide leadership, I think some of that stress and crisis can be avoided.
