I think in NY we are aware and the state is trying brace for the worse, and I see/hear people starting gardens, getting chickens, and basically have "bug out bags" incase things go sideways.

Very understandable, especially since the president still owes your state half a billion dollars for massive financial fraud - for which he didn't even go to prison. What actually happened there?
