there's been a lot of myopic tunnel vision behavior from otherwise well-informed intelligent people over the last many years.
even now, people are shuffling about, carrying on like literally nothing just happened
get yourself informed and prepared. if not for you, then for your people. you have about a month and a half
I live paycheck to paycheck and have a family to support. What preparation do you think I'm going to do beyond grabbing my ankles and praying?
Joining mutual aid groups, coops, triple-checking that you don't have any subscriptions you don't absolutely need and doing your best to just use FOSS (it's free!) instead for the sake of your own limited paycheck, triple-check that you're taking advantage of the free programs and resources available to you like libraries and buy-nothing collectives, try growing a bit of your own food in used jars and buckets, encourage your children to also take advantage of the free resources they might not even know are available to them and ways to save even more by simply reusing every last bit they can if they aren't already? Get to know your neighbors if you have any time left in your day, parents of your kids' classmates? I don't know your situation - none of these might be realistic for you - but those are some of the free ways I could think of off the top of my head for preparing.
