Holly shit since this whole pandemic thing has started, I couldn’t stop thinking about the preppers who must be popping champagne every night and be so happy all their work was for something after all. Everyone made fun of them, but now they’re the ones laughing. The rest of us? We’re just clueless. Seriously, if society was going to collapse I don’t think I’d last very long. I could maybe trade some tomatoes for a couple bullets but then what?
Preppers are just a more extreme version of the people who have a gun for defending themselves. A bad enough emergency can wipe out everything you have.
I guess you could compare this to IT plans for disasters. Most of us have barely any backups for most things. Yet there are those who have multiple off-site backups that are tested often whether they work.
Being prepared is how you survive and thrive in 90% of situations. While I am not one, I never thought it made sense to make fun of them. Folks who laughed at them played a stupid game and won a stupid prize...
