Pat, I agree! People would be so panicked nothing would happen but mass hysteria!
I remember the "gas shortage", late '60s I think.
Got to see the ugly side of it working at my dad's service station. People lined up waiting to get gas, mad and irritated, some near panic fearing the worst. Pushing, shouting, brawling, ridiculous accusations that we (business owners) were holding out just to be mean to them!
Strangest thing, some put themselves in the middle of the chaos deliberately and needlessly. Wait in line for an hour and their car would be full! See them every day, most were elderly, didn't work, just drove home, parked, drove back to sit in line again the next day! They were the loudest complainers! LOL
Seriously, if people panicked over a minor, temporary gas shortage, what would they do over a food shortage!!! Add to that the erosion of ethics since the '60's...
I don't think we as a society could pull together and do it. Would a hysterical crowd quietly sit by while a farmer grew a crop or a rancher raised a herd to slaughter? Would they be willing or able to help?
Or do what they do best, be a part of the problem until there were no winners... Or survivors...
