TheTangoFamily died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says
whoisearthSo sad but at the same time LOfuckingL are people dumb!
They had a 14-year old kid with them. That poor kid didn’t deserve to have been led to his death because of the adults he had no choice but to depend on.
TrismegistusMxAre you more angry at the people trying to escape the crazy system than you are at the system that drove them out?
Yes, a senseless death due to Ill preparation
How would they prepare for economic collapse and the rise of fascism? They took a risk, but they might have just accelerated the inevitable.
They didn’t take a risk. Taking a risk means preparing for situations and dealing with them as they come up, and what happens happens. This lady prepared nothing. This is more like resting in the shade of the anvil suspended by twine in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. She walked out into the woods to die and just didn’t know it. It’s a awful story, she obviously doesn’t felt she had no options, but a little bit of reading or video would show a person very quickly that they needed more preparation than the deceased put in to have any hope it surviving an alpine winter.
Leaving or not leaving your bed is a risk. Preparation has nothing to do with it. They obviously weren’t prepared for living in late-stage capitalism either. You’re falling victim to the just-world fallacy.
