Interesting read.
Indeed it is.
It’s more of a quantitative commentary than a decisive piece. To wit, it lacks a fundamental conclusion and call to action.
Good nonetheless.
He wrote he is not a prepper, but then makes the quantitative case that we should all be preppers if we are rational, critical thinkers.
I find that odd, or perhaps slyly disingenuous.
Net: read it and BLOAT.
Don’t read the comments in the article. Crazy, lazy, short sighted idiots. All we need to to do is force prepares to focus their energies on solving real problems, Or. I can’t participate in the idea of prepping (gun or not) because it’s a selfish, intolerant path. Crazy MF’ers. They will live in their cities and pay 10s of thousand in property taxes but won’t do a basic $2k prep. Build it from there.
Don’t read the article comments. Half way down the idiots come out. Won’t step down to violence (aka guns and preparation). I always wonder what they will think when their wife, daughters, or sons are beaten, tortured, raped, murdered, ate, or even worse kept alive for tomorrow’s fun. I assume that those people’s mind will just turn to mush, cry, and blame everyone but themselves for the pain the people they were supposed to protect suffer unimaginable cruelty. I wonder what the people who counted on them will think.
Prepping isn’t about oneself it’s about taking care of the people we love and are responsible to care for.
I want to start a prepping site where you enter via political affiliations. If more people are prepared, the less likely the black swan will be brutal.. just my opinion.
