>Prepping
About 10 years ago I had a period when I read some prepping literature, mainly fiction. Now that we live in a pandemic I'm amazed how far off the mark all the prepping novels were. Generally the premise of such a novel is some type of apocalypse. The bad thing strikes, humanity just takes it in the chin, and the valiant preppers have a field day saving themselves, and in some cases taking care of their communities. Reality turned out so different. If anything, my curiosity in the prepping literature went negative.
- mikerubini 7y agoAh you are right! I've not read books about it, but I've seen movies. It's pretty much the same plot.
- aaron695 7y agoPretend you are 80, you have 15%+ death rate, and large cripple rates. Currently most are taking it on the chin and just dying. Which 80+ are prep'ed? So food, ability to online shop, Netflix, video conferencing, medicines, hobbies. Most have none, so are going outside and dying. The novels are just not true for your demographic this time.
