I have to admit that I chuckled a bit at the juxtaposition here. The concerns are both valid, yet they are preparations for two somewhat exclusive situations.
- christiangenco 10y agoIsn't that the point of diversification?
- theseatoms 10y agoExactly. The risk-averse, in particular, should consider and plan for the full distribution of possible future circumstances, the less likely of which will sound far-fetched. (Of course) This is why rich, old white men, with plenty to lose, are the most common preppers. (In greater proportion than their share of the populace.)
- internaut 10y agoActually I think it is some rich whites, countryside whites but not middle class city whites with the exception of Mormons and Jews for cultural and historical reasons. The great irony is that the people in the cities surrounded by lots of competing mouths and only a few days supply of food at the shops are also the least worried about starving to death.
