Another reason to stack on stack? Job loss. Notice how many big name businesses are closing?

It's amazing how much the FDA cares so much about our health when it comes to milk, eggs, nuts, and vegetables, but not at all when it comes to dyes and processed foods. Oh wait I forgot the Costco butter not being labeled contains dairy. Thanks, FDA. You are truly doing God's work there. 🙌

Wolf Appliance recalls dual fuel ranges with infrared griddles due to burn and fire hazards
https://myparistexas.com/wolf-appliance-recalls-dual-fuel-ranges-with-infrared-griddles-due-to-burn-and-fire-hazards/

It’s been 45 days since the Harvest.

The parasitic horde has vanished, leaving only a few million survivors in a shattered world. The harsh reality of catastrophic disclosure has crippled most survivors.

Humanity, in an effort to defend against the Harvest, engaged in Nuclear retaliation against the Parasites. It didnt work.

You are one of the few with the mental fortitude to have survived the “Harvest” with your wits still intact.

In your small town of now only 150 people, food, medicine, and fuel are critically scarce. Nuclear winter looms, and infighting among the survivors—many mentally broken by the catastrophe—threatens to tear the community apart. A secret meeting has been called by the town’s strongest leaders to decide how to prepare for the harsh months ahead. All options are on the table.

What is your plan? How will you address the fractured minds and dwindling resources? How will you survive the Nuclear winter? Will you stay and fight for the township’s survival or forge your own path?

Thank to everyone for playing, this was a challenging round.

This is a desperate situation that seeks to prepare you for anything.

Resources are scarce, people are fragile, and the environment is contaminated. Whether you choose to go solo, take only the strongest with you, or stay with the group, lives will inevitably be lost. Your temperament and skill set will likely dictate your path. Regardless of your decision, one thing is certain: you must prepare for nuclear winter.

I strongly recommend that everyone who played tonight spend some time reviewing the CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) channel. It’s clear that many of you need to strengthen your knowledge base.

- Do you have iodine tablets?
- Have you air-sealed a shelter?
- Is there a decontamination room set up?

Nuclear winter means you won’t be able to grow food outdoors. Indoor greenhouses will become essential. How are your aquaponics skills? Are you sourcing lights, batteries, fertilizers, and other necessary supplies?

When it comes to dealing with people, it’s important to understand the psychological impact of catastrophic disclosure. About 80% of people will suffer permanent damage, while the remaining 20% will emerge stronger, clearer, and perhaps even more psychic or empowered.

Hard decisions lie ahead, and there’s no universally "right" moral path for how to handle the difficult choices that will arise. It's up to you to decide how to navigate these challenges based on your values, skills, and circumstances.

Please please review this from Aries. Check your preps for holes. Do you have plastic and duct tape to air seal a shelter? Let's say you have a 30 minute warning. Can it all be done in that time? Have plastic rolled up above the windows...undo the ties....tape edges. One less step. If you are using contractor bags for sealing...get them cut and ready now. Visit our CBRN channel. Brainstorm scenarios and walk through them mentally. This will help you fill in the gaps.
