I didn’t realize it is this bad. When I was travelling a lot, my business was not in Chicago but I passed thru on the way to another destination. The others advised me that if I ever was stranded in Chicago, don’t leave the airport, just stay right there and keep trying to get on the next available flight anywhere, then fly home from wherever they took you.

I can easily envision the owners letting those fields lie fallow for a year or two so when they start rebuilding, the locals will appreciate what they had before, and perhaps will help fight back when looters want to start up.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Putting that aside, how do we supply them this coming winter? Think like a general rather than like a sergeant: logistics rather than tactics. The best I can do is set up a robust defensive perimeter about some non-destroyed huge warehouse, such as Costco or Walmart, move out all the other merchandise which is not food, use those as distribution centers, with supply lines defended like we mean business (because we do.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
