Don't "hope" one way or the other; instead get prepared for self sustained survival and evac from the metro areas if you live in a city or town. One's only hope of surviving a collapse that will cover the globe is to be able to DC from the matrix on a physical level. Think about it; If you are prepped and nothing happens; no loss. If you are not and reality kicks in all around you; well I think anyone here is wise enough to understand what comes with that...
