Being prepared is being responsible. I don’t understand how someone equates being responsible to being selfish.
Exactly1 And being prepared is being considerate. Preppers would not be a burden on others. The unprepared would be a burden on others.
It’s just like commodities trade. People who get prepared build an entire market of preparedness. Without demand, there would be nothing out there for others.
But actually, I’m not even familiar with the term, ‘preppers’. I’m assuming it’s the same as ‘survivalist’, right? Wind-up flashlights and stuff?
When it comes to survivalists — always be prepared, but only in moderation.
Yes and there is nothing selfish about preparing to take care of yourself and your family members. For most people that’s about all they can do anyway. We are not preparing to take care of the rest of the public. They have had the same time and opportunity to prep as we all have.
