TEOTWAWKI post of the day

 the world seems to be committing hari kari with it's overresponse to the covid virus (here in the third world, the economic shutdown and economic collapse will kill more people from hunger and poverty than any damn virus that mainly kills the elderly and sick, but never mind.)

(and I am not being sarcastic about killing the elderly, since I am at high risk here: it's just that people do die of old age you know).

so here is John Bachelor discussing a new book about who will survive a major catastrophe and how they will do it.

....................

one of my areas of interest is the Bronze age collapse in the Aegean. 

Study of Antiquity has a couple interview on their youtube site about why that happened and how folks coped. here is one:

.........and the book 1177 is classic study of this (and soon to be followed by a post 1177 book. Here is Prof Eric Cline discussing:

what will help people survive is not the lone survivalist, but communities of helping each other. 
Which is why the real sign of societal collapse in the west is the demographic crisis the the rejection of the traditional family/

here the family is still strong, but a globalism that pressures parents to work overseas to support their families is not a good thing

(because corruption prevents investments here and because it's hard to break into the oligarchy)

And I shudder to think how the same globalists who planned all of this will decide how ordinary folks should live after the "Great Reset".

and no, the globalist plans are not conspiracy theories, unless you consider Robert Reich and  Thomas Barrett, whose books described the plans 20 years ago, as conspiracy wackos.
