SoMD Vulnerable: Any preppers on here?

I agree with you 100% on what you are saying however...

The OP seemed to reference the impact on local businesses and the local economy. Not particularly towards new contracts, manpower, and changes within the DoD.

I was merely saying that you will probably not see much of a difference when you are out and about town. Basically, you will still see people spending their 80% at Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, Target, etc.

It would take A LOT more than 20% to change the habits of the local establishment.

I disagree with you. Twenty percent cut for me hurts me and my family considerably. We are cutting back on everything and anything we can, including our two nights out for dinner we used to do every month. All our money will now go to just the basic neccessities of food, clothing and shelter and we will not be purchasing any unneeded items or use money for leisure activities.

I think we will see a great deal of the civil servants and contractors in the area conducting themselves the same way. Small businesses will be hurt I imagine, although I hope otherwise.

Our family decided that if we do certain things during furlough we will make a point to support only our local business if possible versus the chains.

I hope everybody will consider the small mom-n-pop stores/restaurants first, if possible.
