This is, IMHO, the product of the "Stand aside and let the professionsal handle this..." the government (ands some of the "professionals") have been pushing since the1970's . And we've become "confortable" with that. No offense necessarily intended.

It is also a sad fact that the youth organizations that taught self-confidence, self-respect and self-reliance are (or have been) marginalized or co-opted by those with particular political agendas..

While I don't have a "BOB" per se, I do have enough water, food and other stuff around the house (and my middle) so that I could manage 3-7 days without normal services. It might not be fun or comfortable, but I could manage.

Stay Safe,

Jim
