ProdigalFrogCOP28 in a nutshell
ceenote“And here’s the kicker: with enough profit, we can make sure only the poors have to deal with the unimaginable horrors we caused!”
ChetzemokaThat’s the worst part. They’re definitely the ones least equipped to deal with an end of the world scenario. Their preferred “problem solving” technique of just throwing money around doesn’t work when supply chains, societies, and currencies are not functioning.
I’d be surprised if at least some of the people throwing money around wouldn’t be preparded for the post-dollar world.
If I had unimaginable wealth you can bet I’d be building one hell of a doomsday prepper bunker
How much food do you really think anyone could fit in a bunker? I mean, seriously. Think about that. They’re still planning on being able to resupply, I guarantee it
As a former/recovered prepper, a year’s worth of food for a single individual takes up surprisingly little space if it’s calorie-dense food.
A year isn’t much in a collapsed economy. That’s my point.
I mentioned a year just as an example of how little space it takes for one person. With access to millions or billions of dollars, it would be trivial for them to build a large enough space to house 30 years worth of food for an entire family plus some security. And when money is no object, you can get some surprisingly luxurious freeze-dried food.
We’re talking about people who are used to spending all of their time on luxury super yachts and hotels with full staff who have never had to go without for even an hour.
I’m not buying that they’re going to fare well in a genuine apocalypse.
Oh I’m sure they’ll have trouble adjusting to ‘roughing’ it, but they’ll choose that over giving up their power every time.
I think they won’t adjust and they’ll die is far more likely.
