Scott Kirkland Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 What will a dozen navy seals do if 500,000 angry heavily armed citizens show up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're still suddenly mortal and preparing in advance is like keeping a spoon close by to eat if suddenly, no one works in advance to recover it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It boils down to: shelter, water, food and fuel  so if you are super wealthy and are using your wealth to create sustainable, organic farms then you are already creating the FOOD required to prevent mass uprising  If everyone were focussing their wealth and effort on creating smallscale, localised, permaculture farms that would solve the food issue  his approach was 'prepare for the worst but hope for the best' so he was ready to protect himself and his food supply if things totally broke down whilst also investing in shoring things up by being part of the solution not part of the problem  sadly most super rich people don't seem interested in looking past their own selfish needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrasityFox Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The Guardian article is full of theoretical speculation, although I really like the idea of "SEALs. As for an army of volunteers to protect the SEALs themselves, it sounds about the same as if someone was going to mine bitcoins using a rake to dig the ground. I'd rather use the links to get something. But protection would be offered to a companion or even a broker who makes his own money and knows how to count money. Otherwise, I can not be judged and the rest of the opinions are very chaotic and few people will support it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
