I feel like at that point you're kinda moving the goalposts. Your question was a condescending one about what I'll do "when this country collapses" not about climate change.

Climate change as a whole is another issue and not one that knowing how to use a hammer or fix a plumbing issue is going to magically spare you from. I'm doing what I can to prepare for the realities that might follow but as you point out, nothing and no one but the billionaires are safe (and probably not even them considering their staff are still real people and not robots).

I'm not having kids, I'm living small, but I'm also not living in fear of what I can't control. Fuck man, we're ex-redditors for crying out loud. We don't I Am Legend a way out of this, we don't magically survive because we went camping a lot. Get real and stop kidding yourself that your career will make one lick of difference unless it puts you in reach of billionaires and their private bunkers.

I know you mean well, but it's not a good look.

The US is going to collapse because of the poly crisis. So is the rest of the world. Climate change, late stage capitalism, authoritarian right wing governments getting elected worldwide. Having real skills will soon becoming in handy.

Well it's been a chat but I'm gonna go. Good luck with the doomsday prepping.
