Yeah, even if you’re not the one directly involved, you can still “prepare,” “strengthen your defenses,” and “not overextend.” For example: tighten spending in anticipation of fluctuations in food costs and finances, secure essential supplies early, and rely on primary sources when checking information so you don’t get swept up by misinformation—then shape your actions to minimize the trouble your spouse or family will face the most.
