Default We Chose Efficiency Over Resilience -- Now We Pay

Production
Supply chain
Monetary policy

We chose efficiency over resilience. It works until it doesn't. When it doesn't, we pay big.

We saved a few bucks in the short term, but hurt ourselves in the long term.

HODL your Bitcoin.

Personally I trade in bronze axe heads. The original (and best) currency.

Just-in-time supply logistics are one standing, bitcoin is a much more retarded standing.

Thanks. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well, on the plus side we have electricity, internet, fast food, AC/Heating, houses, and the vast majority of humans don't die from hunger/bandits/disease/cold and live past 25 or 30. So I guess it could (and has been) worse.

We also have options for our profession besides street hooker or fisherman

More people die per capita today due to accidents, cancers, and other dangers of the modern world, than they did a broken leg in the tribal days.

Medicine has promised us happiness in the form of immortality, but it has given us nothing but more pain in the form of your kids not calling and then you die from falling off the toilet too hard, alone.

Medicine is bad so is electricity and all science. Repent before it's too late!

Satan lied to you! Look into the snakes eyes and you will see!

Tru.

Funnily enough they are constantly studying agrarian and fisher, hunter societies cuz it turns out if they make it to adulthood they easily live past 80. Comfortably. With. O serious health decline until right before death. Not on like fistfuls of meds for shit like blood pressure or whatever. Or regular kidney dialysis, cpap machines, etc..

Not a cripple by 35 or 50.

The generation born before the 40s is the last generation to live without major cancer and endocrine diseases or being stabbed by a crazy junkie on dangerous meds or drugs. Or dying of weird ass STDs.

It's all down hill until the great reset now.

One final alternative is warrior societies. Which have a lower survival rate, those that do live just as well as the non industrial agrarian that don't consume trash. And know how to care for themselves without electricity. Or plumbing.

Big cities are the #1 place to go die horrifically when the water and food run out. And the state cannot even subsidize big retailers or supermarkets. Or costs skyrocket. The USA will collapse just like the USSR.

It's taken a bit longer because we won at exploiting other countries for so long. That will change. Either on our terms or theirs. Although I suspect it's too late for most Americans to pull their heads collectively outa their own asses.

Recent study finds fruit and veg sold in the UK is less than half as nutritious as that sold 80 years ago. Even eating well you’re eating shit. No wonder our bodies are all fucked before we even hit our forties.

I swear I’m gonna go back to a village in the Med, where everything is grown locally by small farmers and sold by the farmers at market. Super market tomatoes are just sacks of unflavoured water so I have no doubt the first paragraph is true.

Feeling cute, might post tomato source later.
