Yen went on a free fall to a 24 year low yesterday. It is the third largest fiat currency in the world. Japan is also the largest holder of US treasuries.

Tons of dried food like white rice, beans, whole corn, etc will last 20+ years if stored below 100f/40c.
A 5 gallon food-safe bucket is the best choice for storage. They are stackable, vermin-proof, and air/water proof that cost ~$8 with lid at a hardware store.
Each 5 gallon bucket can hold roughly enough calories for a month of food for one person. If you go with white rice or lentils that can be had as cheaply as ~$25-30 per bucket.
This is good for a potential total collapse but also the best prep is honestly to have a community of people you can rely on and trust. Alone and prepped is the same as alone and unprepared.

We have them because we live in earthquake country.
Estimated time to get power back to our property after the Big One will be 6+ months.
The big one refers to that impending earthquake on the northwest coast right?
Absolutely wild that there's been basically no preparation for that at a systemic level
There has been some but mostly at city/metro level.
Some cities have caches of generators/tents, but most will rely on FEMA.
