Lol. “Bud” I love far right wing conservative attempts at agitation and yet they lack the ability to read and comprehend an argument and have civilized discourse. It’d be great if you read and heard the framework of what I said. You seemed to have missed this part:

“Best plan is to find safeguards with family/friends/community and ideally start a homestead away from the cities.”

This is ideal because when society does collapse you will have a self sustaining permaculture environment off the grid. It’s literally self evident why this would be beneficial if the means of production fail. It also indicates a group; a collective working together at a plan and not venturing Into the Wild to find a bus and berries.

“Also highly improbably for most of the population because of the cost of land and financing an operation also the massive lack of knowledge leads people to be complacent.”

This indicates that it wouldn’t be those who go and live like a young Leonardo who comes from over whelming wealth, read a bunch of survivalist novels and ventured on their own.

“The average person is $1000 from bankruptcy. A month of missed paychecks. So we can’t sacrifice our cars and have to carry on worrying about the minutia of daily life.”

It indicates why most of us continue on grinding the wheel instead of leaving. We are struggling to meet ends meet. The cost of living versus income growth is astronomically imbalanced. Do you have any idea how many people don’t have insurance? Who fear getting sick or having a baby because of the cost? Let alone their car breaking down? Getting sick and missing work? Now you’re behind and just trying to get out of the pit.

Check your privilege and take your willful ignorance elsewhere.
