Thank you, genuinely. Once I started questioning the legitimacy of my familiy’s religion, it opened the flood gates to questioning the conspiracies we believed, and finally to the necessity of prepping for those fantastical events.
My life has improved immeasurably since getting out of that quagmire of thought.
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.
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.
I don’t know if anyone has told you this, but you should be proud you were able to walk away from that.

A year isn’t much in a collapsed economy. Three years, five years isn’t much. That’s my point.
And you think these billionaire assholes are going to have the self-discipline to eat nothing but rations for the rest of their lives? Of course not.

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.
