why must it be black or white 2

WHY MUST IT BE BLACK OR WHITE 2?

Very few people have an unlimited preparedness budget. I do, but I also had to pay eight years of gross wages to learn that lesson. After Baby Momma, all future wives and Old Ladies had to be infertile. Not that I resent having kids-mine are really special, and make yours look pathetic and weak. One good thing I can say about the bitch, we had a heck of a good combination of genes. I merely regret it took me so much money to learn how to pick suitable mates ( besides being unable to breed, I brooked far less nonsense. It was no longer THEIR money, but either mine or ours ).

*

My boy is getting set to get married, but he also whored around for near a decade first ( and he WAS a man whore ) AND she makes twice what his well paid trade pays. I'm so proud, a sugar momma well shy of thirty years old. He is a lot smarter than his Old Man. Or at least he learned well. See? Don't you feel bad about your offspring, now? Anyway, most folks are engaged in what is called “a life” and they choose to do other things instead of just prep. Some of us dumb asses keep prepping, beyond a reasonable level, but that is just because it is a hobby.

*

But most sane well developed people do NOT put their life on hold to get ready for the apocalypse. They do NOT have an unlimited budget. So, by yearning for “the best”, the highest quality of material, they severely handicap themselves. What they have is perfect, but they do NOT have enough of it, not even close. Nothing shows this better than choosing a single case of MRE's over SIX FRIGGIN months of wheat. And that is if the MRE's are on sale, close to expiration.

*

Congratulations, you have perfect meals, chock a block full of fat and protein, manly men super combat rations. And you'll die two weeks later than everyone else. Don't you just feel all superior to poor bitches stocking peasant food? Yeah you do. Because you are a Prepper Princess Pussy, and to be perfectly honest I shall be celebrating your demise. I give you free wisdom, which only cost you if you deem it worthy, and you think you know better.

*

Look, there are a lot of things you can do better than I. You can earn more money. You can do algebra. You can actually hit what you aim at, past a hundred yards. You might write poetry or fix a leaky pipe. But I have serious doubts you have studied collapse as much as I have. It isn't just reading books, you need to eventually develop enough of a background so that you know when to call bull spit or not on what you are reading. I won't mention any names of more famous “experts” who live north of me who are incapable of calling BS.

*

Enough tooting my own horn. Except, remember who has the more perfect hair. There, now I'm done. My point is this. The more I learn, the more afraid I become. Very afraid. Not about death, I know enough about pre-Oil Age actuary tables to realize I don't have that much longer to go, even in normal times. I won't turn down a few extra years, but I don't expect them ( the NOL and siblings, of the Baby Boomer generation, think 70's and 80's are normal. I know better ). Death is a given at this point.

*

The fear is based on how much different this collapse is going to be. Reading history only conveys how bad the die-off is going to be. The problem becomes how much worse the recovery is going to be, if we even ever see one. Is the Agricultural Revolution even going to continue, given the lack of ore past the salvage stage? Don't get cocky about the amount of steel above ground and the coming lack of people. Will the forests recover from the die-off in time to recover the steel before it rusts away? Will there be enough petroleum based grease/oil to preserve the steel we want to use?

*

These are rhetorical questions. I need to dig back into a few of my older books and read up again on that subject ( those I have in mind are “Rust, The Longest War” and “The World Without Us” ). That isn't the important thing, as much as What We See Is What We Get. Forever. The die-off will be so intense that all our knowledge will be lost, after a time we used up all the resources, and there will be no more Less Tech/Lower Tech or Appropriate Tech substitutes for everything we have now. And a lot of what we have will NOT be missed. Yet, there is enough loss to make post collapse life exponentially less comfortable.

*

These things we have discussed before. Plastic sheeting, rigid board insulation, ammunition, machine grown grain and legumes, industrial production of simple items such as sewing needles. The list could expand to several articles. What you can get now, that is all there will ever be. The silver and gold above ground now? That is it, without industrial mining. You MUST be your own logistics, for your children, and your grandchildren. For your tribe, if they are to have a chance of survival.

*

Do you REALLY think any of that is possible, if you restrict yourself to ONLY having the very best of everything? Stop being a selfish bastard and think of the children ( like Hilary! LOL, sorry. I couldn't help myself ). You need to stock deep, and for most that means stocking as cheap as possible, without buying junk that simply wastes our money. Your greedy ass is sitting out the apocalypse all pretty as you please, mega manly sub-MOA AR. Don't think about all the extra ammo you could have bought with the extra AR money, had you bought MIDDLIN AR's, in multiple, PLUS had ammo money left over. No, just think about yourself.

*

Don't put in the effort to get away from crowds. Just spray and pray on the urban masses with your Team America semi-auto, instead of shooting that AR bolt action, in the boonies, saving ammo because none will ever be made again. You are short sighted, and your descendants, should they survive, will curse your befouled memory. And hey, if you despise your kids, just reverse engineer the above. Welcome to the sweet life of hate and discontent. I welcome you.

*

There will be no recovery. Certainly not a partial one. The Dark Ages will last far longer than the last one at 500 years. That one saw an immigration away from the affected area, and a partial recovery due to far lower population. There is no where to go to today, not for any more than an odd family or two to the most remote hunting and gathering location. Those teeming masses in place will strip the carrying capacity down to zero. This is far more serious than prepping for a camping trip, with “da best, duh”. You need to prep for almost all traces of civilization to flounder and fall. Your descendants cannot survive on ONE superior rimfire rifle, as their Forever Gun. They need multiples, and ammo stocked way deep.

*

Rinse and repeat with EVERYTHING. Or not. Your decaying corpse will help replenish the soil. Continued tomorrow, with “timing”. Am I beating a dead horse? You betcha!
