If or when a threatened nuclear exchange were to happen, what is your plan? Something simple maybe like driving east or west or south with a specific place in mind? Maybe more complicated. You know a farm that has a good farmer and his four beautiful teenage daughters. He needs help guarding the farm and the daughters. If you're more of a bastard, maybe that farmer has what you want and need. So he's eliminated. Maybe you have more of a plan still...a little off grid cabin away from everyone, a very large, expensive boat on the coast. How about a nice six passenger plane at the local airport that no one will be watching. Stop by the local college, grab a couple of skilled co-eds and off you go to the Canadian wilderness.
Of course, you could be one of those guys holding onto your paper money, your stocks, your investments...all worthless now. So just straighten out your toes and give up.
