There is no upcoming apocalypse. That's just doomscrolling too much of Lemmy.
BUT it's always good to have a good supply of everything for natural disasters, pandemics, etc.
I am totally stocked and I wouldn't have to rely on any services for over a year. When the pandemic happenend, I didn't even flinch. I just went thru my stuff, and restocked when things got better.
My land is paid for. I can garden. I have chickens. I have solar power. I am good with my hands. And plenty of timber for heating. Snows and rains a lot here.
There will be no apocalypse just because you don't like the president. People said the same shit the first time he was prez. But being prepared for anything is awesome. :)
There was one last time Trump was in power so why don’t you think there will be another?
Because it didn't end the world and it didn't happen just because Trump was in office.
So that’s your stance?
Even though it happened while Trump was in office and fundamentally changed the world since Trump wasn’t the sole reason it doesn’t count?
That's correct. It happened to the world. Trump couldn't have prevented it. No one could have. And since it didn't happen BECAUSE of him, I'm not scared it's suddenly going to happen again just because he's in office.
Would you be this afraid if Harris were in office? Because the odds of a pandemic are the same regardless of who is in office.
The man is batting a thousand though.
