To be clear, we hope society doesn’t collapse. No one wants that. We appreciate working plumbing, grocery stores, and being able to charge our phones. But let’s say things go a little sideways in North Carolina and the United States as a whole. We’re not necessarily talking about bunkers and gas masks (unless that’s your…
