But I have an ability to spot trends, and over the years friends have appreciated it when I have shared my insights.</span></p><br><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">If the West massively shuts down Russia\u2019s banking system and its ability to carry on with commerce (e.g. sales of gas and oil), Putin has PROMISED he will retaliate by unleashing cyberattacks on the West. We need therefore to envision what the major consequences could be to our daily lives, and to act AHEAD OF TIME to insulate ourselves as much as possible from those consequences.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;"><br></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">If and when Putin\u2019s cyberattacks effectively shut down our banking system, here are a few of the functions of that system, the loss of which can hit average people like you and me pretty hard:</span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">1.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: New;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">1. You won\u2019t be able to use your credit cards, whether in stores or online (if you can even get online).</span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">2.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: New;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">2.

You probably WILL be able to get cash from the tellers, but there might be long lines.</span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;"> </span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">So here are some of the pre-emptive steps that you might want to take, right away, before this mushrooms out of control:</span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">1.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: New;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">1. Get a suitable amount of cash out of the bank. Maybe a month\u2019s supply of cash, knowing that if you want to pay for groceries in the stores, and medications at the pharmacy, gas at the pump, and the like, THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PROCESS YOUR CREDIT CARD. Cash, or nothing. I am not talking about Armageddon, this is not MadMax breakdown of civilization. There is no need to run out and buy silver coins and ammo, nothing crazy like that. You may just need some \u201cgreen\u201d to tide you over.</span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">2.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: New;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">2. If you are taking medications <i>on which your life depends</i>, then you might want to go right away to get an extra month\u2019s supply of those mission-critical meds. If insurance won\u2019t pick up the cost of an extra month\u2019s supply, ask your physician to write a one-off Rx with a note (in the field to the pharmacist) that says \u201cpatient will pay out of pocket\u201d.</span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 1in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">a.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: New;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">OK, so what are some of the meds where not being able to get them for a month could endanger your life? Prescription blood thinners (Eliquis, Xarelto, etc); chemotherapy meds; blood pressure and other heart meds; meds for neurological conditions (like MS); and the like.</span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 1in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">b.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: New;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">Then, if you can afford it, get an extra month\u2019s supply of meds that, although not life-saving, nevertheless are crucial for avoiding significant pain and disability, such as your meds for arthritis, migraines, gastritis, and the like. Do you take baby aspirin to prevent clotting? Make sure you have an <i>extra</i> month\u2019s supply.</span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">3.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: New;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">3.

If so, stock up on some additional supplies of gas or LNP, because the power grid will be a prime target for cyberattacks.</span></p><p class="ydp11751bf1yiv5098146854ydpfa0e48a9yiv9784300874MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 1in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">c.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: New;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">Buy non-perishables, like canned food (sardines), pastas, tomato sauce, canned and jarred soups, and the like. Baby food. Diapers. This is not \u201chysteria\u201d, I\u2019m <b><u>not</u></b> talking about a <i>year\u2019s</i> supply. Rather, just a supply for a few weeks, to get you through the crisis if there is one.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">I hope these steps will never be needed. But better to be safe than sorry.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">Feel free to pass this along to friends and relatives. Feel free to post this on any online networks of which you\u2019re a member. Especially, think if there are any older neighbors who could benefit from thinking this through.
