Preppers think the pencil nose accountants will all die screaming in regret while all the high school jv cheerleaders come begging them for help, in full uniform, and everyone finally recognizes how they were right all along.

I have tons of food, a generator and other backup power and a gun, and if shit really hits the fan I know I'm not living 5 minutes longer than everyone less prepared, the resources actually make me a target.

But then again, I have Pge, so it's not doomsday prepping, it's just 'Wednesday, or whenever they next screw up resulting in 100s of deaths, weeks without power, and massive rate hikes resulting in huge bonuses to their upper management'.

Honestly, if the great civilization-ending disaster they think they're prepping for happens, I hope I die in the first wave. I don't have any Mad Max fantasies.

Mad Max fantasies will never equate to Mad Max realities, anyways.

Definitely not. And anyone who thinks that it is the reality isn't going to be Immortan Joe, they're going to be one of the people at the bottom of the cliffs begging for water.

Or a human-shaped piece of sex furniture rented out to the water marauders in exchange for food and supplies. I'll take not making it through the initial disaster, please and thank you!
