I had no idea that chest freezers were so cheap.

Still thinking like a poor person, I guess, because when I was a kid these were special and expensive. We move too much to make getting one of these practical I think, but I’d like some resilience against both the conservatives and the liberals and their variously-intentioned depredations.

I need my meat. And though I don’t think anything in particular is likely, it’s called “insurance” for a reason. I suspect in the worst case, food supply disruptions are more likely than electricity disruptions — in the US, at least.

I’ll never be a prepper or anything like that. I’ve always liked, though, to have some stopgap against things people fervently insist can never happen. Because most of the time, they do happen.
