So, you just expect everyone is going to hold hands and form an orderly and polite single-file line for the migration out of the city after the last croissant from Starbucks is eaten??


No. But I also wouldn't expect everyone to jump up and rush out of the city at the same time, either. Some would leave as it begins and as food became more scarce they would leave at varying times. Not everybody is going to run out of food at the same time.

Seriously: How are you going to get out when 6 million people are simultaneously trying to do the same? Where will you go?


Why would they leave simultaneously? Altogether now...1,2,3 go?

If you are not using the Walking dead/Zombie Apocalypse as an example, what is your scenario? that would help determine how people would react. If we are talking about a virus/Pandemic situation more people would stay in the city because of the hospitals. But...I've already shown where most of these spread in the suburbs before spreading to the cities.

How long could you live off of the non-perishable food in your pantry right now?

3, maybe 4 days?

People are stupid. They are especially stupid when in a panic. When/if the shite hits, you can count on at least 80% of the city going full retard, which pretty much screws most of the remaining 20% who don't. I'd wager 75% of ITP folks don't make it beyond Gwinnett.

The outer suburbs will have better luck - that's who those of us in the "sticks" get to deal with. I'll be organizing a chainsaw brigade to fell trees at Baldwin, Cornelia, and Cleveland to block 441, 365, and 129. Good luck getting in, douchebags.
