I doubt martial law would be declared where you are, but your Governor could bring in the National Guard if any of these armed demonstrations get out of hand. I am pretty certain that martial law won’t be declared at a national level.It is winter and even in the South snow can happen, so it’s smart to have two weeks of medicine and food anyway. Make sure that you have food that isn’t dependent on electricity. Something that doesn’t require refrigeration or even cooking if all you have is electric. If you have a gas stove, you need long stick matches so you can light your burners. You would still be without the oven because the electric starter won’t work if the power gets knocked out.I’ve spent 3/4 of my life in states where blizzards are pretty common and I it can take electrical crews a couple of weeks to get the power back on when the weather gets really bad. Make sure you have blankets and if you have a fireplace make sure you have some good dry wood.

I once was led on a five-mile car chase through busy city streets at 20 MPH over normal speeds with the driver refusing to stop. The path they were taking made me realize they were trying to get somewhere quickly, not trying to evade me. Finally the driver, who turned out to be a middle-aged woman, stopped in front of a house where an ambulance was waiting. The woman leapt from her car and ran to unlock the door to allow the medics entry to the house that had security barred windows and doors. She burst into the house ahead of the EMTs obviously trying to find the occupant with them. I entered behind them to offer assistance and found myself assuming the role of comforter to the woman as the paramedics declared her mother’s death. The woman had a major breakdown and I wound up holding her for over a half hour as she cried inconsolably until her husband arrived. She tried apologizing for her driving actions between sobs but I assured her I would have done the same thing and that she wouldn’t be getting a ticket from me that day. Sometimes traffic laws simply do not apply.

To my mind it's an advantage in the same sense as a mouse in a trap got a free lunch.Yes, there is an advantage. Nations trading with the US have a much easier time if they hold US currency. Otherwise they'd have to exchange their currency into dollars with each transaction, at varying rates of exchange. That would make every trade more laborious.Prior to 1971 the dollar had been redeemable by other national banks in gold. This was a plan to ensure stability in international trade. Nixon abrogated Bretton Woods, declaring the dollar no longer redeemable. Kissinger rushed to the Middle East to broker a deal involving a half dozen oil companies and Saudi Arabia. Oil would be traded only in dollars. This prevented the dollar taking a serious fall. Again, it behooves purchasers of oil to hold dollars in order to effect timely trades.Note that those nations deemed by the US to be most evil are the ones that have proposed trading oil in other currencies -- Iraq, Iran, Libya, Venezuela.In Mexico the dollar circulates as an alternative currency to the peso. Tourist dollars as well as money brought or sent back by migrant workers in the US account for a good bit of US currency held abroad.All these dollars held abroad represent in effect an exportation of inflation. If all that money were to return to the US, prices would rapidly rise. US consumers would suffer near-terminal sticker shock.So holders of dollars abroad are absorbing some of the ill effects of the Federal Reserve creating money from nothing, a.k.a., quantitative easing. This permits government to spend without the inflationary repercussions that would otherwise occur.The trap springs on Uncle Mouse when foreigners no longer trust the dollar. That trust is already starting to unravel. When the money returns home because others don't want to hold it, we shall see the inflationary pressures noted a couple paragraphs above. What has kept it from happening is the lack of a viable alternative as a global reserve. The euro, renminbi, and yen all have their own specific problems mitigating against their use as reserve currency.When the dollar does finally unravel the government will have to default one way or another. An outright repudiation of debt is possible but unlikely. It was done by several states early in the 19th century, with generally salutary long-term effects. A more common repudiation is mass- or hyperinflation. Debts are paid for with increasingly worthless currency.A default is all but inevitable. It will be the pain people thought we were avoiding with bank bailouts and quantitative easing, but magnified a thousandfold.
