Good idea to stock up on ham radio / CB equipment , when the shit hits the fan, your cell phone won't help you. You will be silent. If you do have service, they will know exactly where you are at . don't wait until shit goes bad to consider what a world will look like when they have ultimate power. get some solar panels while you're at it. can't charge batteries when you have no gas in your car. I know ; it's a dystopian outlook. but they are flexing their muscles and it's better to have it and not need it than need it with no way to get it.
