I have mixed feelings on this matter. While I understand that there a thousands of hard working folks out there that are busting their ass to make ends meet that this will hurt, there are also a lot of lazy moochers out there who need the cut to force them to actually get up and go to work. So how is this an indicator for civil unrest??? This is an indicator to watch because if the government continues to cut off subsides to people who truly depend on them two things will potentially happen. One, crime will increase, and two the potential for civil unrest will increase. Think of it this way. If you had to feed your children, what length would you go to? Personally, I would resort to hunting and fishing because thats what I did as a kid and I know how to do it effectively, but if you have lived in the concrete jungle your entire life you don't have this skill set. Now, if I couldn't hunt and fish the next best option is to take what I need by any means necessary. Hell, I'd off my neighbors if thats was my last resort to feed my boys. So, if we have a whole lot of hungry people who have depended on the government their entire life they have two options. Take to the street and protest to the government to reinstate help or just take what they need from whoever has it. If its known that you are a prepper you better buckle your chinstrap and put your mouth piece in because the zombies are coming for your supplies.
Keep things like this in mind when you read the news. Look for these potential indicators and let family members know whats going on. This is just another way you can stand up and survive.
