There’s so much doom on social media right now. The environment is collapsing. The economy will crash. Civil rights are ending. Democracy is dead.

What keeps you going? Why do you still get up and go do what needs to be done when the world seems to be ending around us?

    Tone down social media use and do a little prepping. Learn how to use mylar bags and properly store away rice, beans, lentils, pastas, etc.

    Prep as if the internet is going down for a prolonged time, maybe even electricity in general.

    You can stress about things after you’ve gotten your shit together for a prolonged emergency.

    Understand that this isn’t the end of the world, just the end of the world as we know it. Humans are notoriously lazy and selfish, it will take a worldwide calamity before we get our collective shit together and do what’s right.

    The people in charge have failed us for their own selfish interests. There’s nothing else to do except prep and make a better tomorrow.
