But seriously, the majority of people will likely do what the news tells them to do. Whether that's a good or bad thing, I can't decide. On one hand, I'd like to think my fellow humans are capable of logical, rational thought and will make a carefully-weighed decision depending on the circumstances. However, I'm afraid it will more likely look like 30,000 idiots raiding Wal-Marts and and grocery stores for essentials like bread, water, and cheap flat-screen televisions.
Meanwhile, the true entrepreneurs will again thrive and fill a need. As long as their is something to be bartered, an opportunity exists. Take that from me - a "noob" here - as you will.
I do strongly believe that private-sector security firms will thrive in this "brave new world" as the "haves" will continue to claw to keep their belongings and asses a safe distance from the ever-increasing masses of "have-nots."
