For us to be preppers on an individual level is immensely silly- it’s on a societal level that you want to build redundancy, stability, and disaster plans. If your big plan is to defend cans of creamed corn with a sniper rifle, then your plan is to fail.
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoBut what this minor stress shows is that we are in a broken state, with no sufficient motivational force to clean it up politically. What this revealed is the utter lack of a functioning government we have, regardless of the political firebomb that currently runs it. I was complaining loudly about the CDC not having an actionable ventilator plan given the SARS/MERS precursors that also needed them, but they DID have a contract/plan with an upstart company... That got acquired by Covidien and then the bid/project was cancelled by some middle manager. So our readiness is completely broken, and the current capitalism/accounting/budgeting/regulatory structure has no ability to stockpile/prepare.
