Meaning, you're on your own and look how long it took for them to restore order in NO-Katrina and LA- Riots. Now imagine this nationwide and it will take at least a month for some type or order to be restored.
i guess i can see the difference, perhaps an economic collapse would require a unique set of skills and resources but statistically, an full econ collapse has little chance of happening eh..

statistically, collapse will be regional, like the tsunami in japan. or haiti.

i don't see any u.s. collapse, other than the one you mention, requiring more than a 3 day nut to get by on. btw, i am not disagreeing with you, these are just my views for myself.
