One thought on “Today’s quote”

  1. My frustrated and sad response is: what do I, as an ordinary person, do? Do I decide to buy a huge plot of land somewhere far away from everything and build a cabin I could hide out in? Do I (God forbid) just figure the end is coming, and maybe stockpile something that will make that end quicker for me if things really do go to Hell on Earth? Do I don sackcloth and ashes and take up a sign telling people to repent? Do I try to find a “posse” who will help me survive when the SHTF? (Single people do notoriously badly in disaster situations.) Or do I stick my head in the sand and try to be happy, all the while knowing that I may unexpectedly meet my end several decades earlier than I might have hoped?

    I saw an ad this morning pushing everyone to save “1% more” for retirement, and I was like, “Yeah, deny yourself that latte so there’s more money in the bank when some terrorist kills you”

    I HATE having to think about this stuff.
