Q: What would you do if there was a catastrophic attack on AES?
Me: buy a dairy farm in the alps while money still has meaning, and run a little Almhütten in isolation, while civilization collapses around me.
This points to an important hole in my remediation plan: I need to acquire some dairy farming skills

@sophieschmieg You will need a deep dive into EU agricultural subsidies! It is complicated enough that there are advisors who make a good living helping with subsidy applications and requirements.

And mountain pasture, in spite of the receding snow line, is expensive and jealously guarded by locals. They have sayings like "until your family has five generations in the ground here, you're still an outsider".

@sophieschmieg Farm kid here... And I ran away from it when I had the chance. Although I love the idea of the mountain refuge! Real Heidi feel to that existence.
