It's all very scary. This is why it's a good idea to have some cash on hand. We are overly reliant on computer systems with potential glitches that can be exploited, as you describe!

I've often had the same thought. The next major war, too, might be fought with viruses, through massive computer networks that we rely on, not bio-warfare. Cash or silver coins (even better) might help a bit. Or living on arable land--but that isn't possible for most people.

I hear you. Our house is on a larger plot than most, but we couldn't feed ourselves enough with with what we can grow here.
