  • I think it's funny that you can't really prep for this. It's going to be a slow collapse, slowly churning and making it impossible for anyone to survive. As critical infrastructure fails, food, water sources dry up, and the only solution anyone is capable of giving: "Try biking to work". Realistically it should be "get ready for an apocalypse." No amount of prep will leave you untouched.

    When it happens it's basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it's fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.

    We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It's coming and coming quickly. We're not ready. Billions will die.
