I am in the same boat.. BUT I would rather have a chair when the game of musical chairs stops then not have a chair... I look at prepping as cheap insurance given the issues with the $USD.

some people don't have the money to prep. Or, nature. We should care about them too.

Really we must find a way to stop them, that's the only way to go.

We could redirect all the cognitive and monetary resources we're spending on prepping and spend it on uniting under a unified objective, the objective being stopping the psychopaths before they turn the Planet into a pile of toxic ash. You know? Prepping doesn't solve much imo, it's just an egoic pursuit ("I'm ok, and that's everything that matters" - but no, other people/creatures matter too).

Yes, you are right.

But please, preppers, store some extra food for the most vulnerable.
