I suggest you do the same, stay in the city.

**** no! The last place you want to be when SHTF, is in a city.
[ people are ] moving to small farms to sustain themselves,
not to make a business out of it.

According to you, Greg has done the right thing then.
According to me, he's exiled himself; it's self-imprisonment.

No, it's just the opposite. It's freedom. Your thinking is
warped. The liberals/socialists have turned you into a
willing dupe/drone and they have you JUST where they
want you.

Let's say Seattle has an outbreak of bubonic plague
in the homeless population. What do you think is
going to happen. Yes, Quarantine. The authorities
will isolate the entire city. Nobody gets in and out
that they don't want to get in and out. Schlubs like
you will be expendable. If you catch the plague -
too bad. They don't care if half the population dies.

So, YOU are the prison by your own hand.

Well said and the bubonic plague is already making a comeback in places
like Los Angeles and San Francisco where leftists have made sure to
increase the homeless population and create tent cities. Rats are
everywhere as is feces which used to be limited to living inside leftist
heads.

In the city, you can rent a micro-apartment and order Uber eats.

That's in good times but when anarchy sets in you
will be dead meat.

Not a big loss according even to himself.

I could say gold is going to the moon, and I'd be right;
-- it's the WHEN part that's usually wrong.

Since the end of 2015, the Yen has been tracking gold.
as will the dollar, eventually, if all all goes right;
complete with negative interest rates.

I sort through all the crap and try to make sense out of it.

We've a limited number of crappy choices.
You can't blame the guy who "chooses" to jump out the window
when the house is on fire.

Likewise, governments are forced to make crappy "choices";
e.g. enabling drugs and thieving junkies.

Governments subsidize devil-may-care deadbeats/junkies
and penalize penny-pinching capitalists, creating bubbles.

If they can get to it, they can take it.
You could wake up one day and find your account has been frozen.

Hence: I only invest in myself; I don't trust anyone.

Long-Term: People are living alone now, ditching friends+family.

I'm happier living alone than I ever was living with others.

Amen. Trying to change others is a losing game; it'll drive you mad.

**** the others. If they can't swim then let them drown,
I say. Me, myself and I is how to survive any coming
apocalypse. Every single relationship I've ever had,
male or female - but especially female, has been
little more than a ball and chain on my leg.

The older I get, the more clear it is that women are fairly useless.
Have ONE good woman in your life, marry her and produce others who are
loyal to you by relation. The others are playthings to which you should
have no loyalty because they clearly will never have any to you...
#metoo and all. If you can avoid them altogether, do so for your own
safety but if you absolutely have to interact with them and won't be
marrying them, treat them as expendable. The funny thing is that even
though you're treating them like garbage, they love it.
