In a mad Max scenario you have 6 weeks of fuel. Even if there’s still some left after that point, it’ll start to degrade. You might be able to keep a car running for up to a year if you managed to get hundreds of gallons of gas, and keep it stabilized.
Realistically speaking in a total societal collapse scenario, your best bet is staying close to people you know. If you’re thinking you could drive off in to the woods somewhere, A: you and everybody else, B: can you run off in to the woods right now? Today, drop everything and just go live off grid? If so, why haven’t you, and if not, what makes you think you’ll be able to because the power is out?
Sorry best I can do is 30% apr on an 84 month loan for a 125,000 dollar car that will lose 90% of it’s resale value in 3 years.
Almost everything about the situation you were born in to is an accident of birth.
As in, you had no hand in it. Your parents may or may not have had some say in the matter, but for the vast majority of Americans, they didn’t choose to be an American either. Any more than they chose the color of their skin or the texture of their hair.
If you’re the child of immigrants, then sure, be proud of their accomplishment. It was hard and they earned the right to be here. But for most of us, it’s just where we happened to be from.
Raping children? Ok.
Rounding up random brown people and sending them to overseas concentration camps? Perfectly fine with it.
Gas is slightly more expensive? THAT’S THE FUCKING LINE
Pride comes with accomplishment.
Being human, being American, being male, being white, these are all accidents of birth. There’s no reason to take pride in any of it.
Bring born in to a disaffected class of people, being gay, or a person of color, and overcoming that adversity to any measure of success, that merits some pride.
But just being human? Anybody can do that.
