You people, while set in your ways, have some reasonably sound ideas but are a little misguided from our viewpoint. Now, before you become irate and attack me just because you don't believe I should have freedom to speak, hear me out.
You gentlemen and lady/gentleman pride yourselves on being at least somewhat self sufficient. We here at the study group realize one of your fears is that there will be a financial collapse of our system, your EBT card will fail, and the drug and prostitution money you would normally spend on beer may have to be diverted to a subsistence account.
Granted, this is a very real possibility due to the nature of Capitalism. We all know that corporations build their riches on the backs of the working class. Corporations are for profit entities and their allegiance is to the board and shareholders. Not to the workers who provided the physical labor to build the company up, but to the wealthy people who can afford to be shareholders.
Now I realize that some of you have shares of stock in a corporation or two. But you are no more a real shareholder of any significant value than my cat who, because I've allowed him a pillow on my futon, thinks he owns part of my apartment. Because of this false sense of security your capitalist masters have allowed you to maintain, you feel concerned that an outside force could topple this shrine to decadence.
Well, my friends and fellow VIP members, you are correct. Until the American people see the folly of not nationalizing the larger corporations, until the American people finally listen to reason and let socialism take a firm hold, and until we the people finally allow the government to guide these corporations for the good of the nation, we will be under the threats of that black cloud.
In order to prepare for the inevitable collapse of the economic system due to corporate greed we as preppers must learn to use our assets wisely. A shared economy amongst the neighborhood is the only way we will survive. In the event of a collapse economically, or the loss of our power grid due to an EPM from the global warming we must be prepared to share our stores, to provide for those who have little, and to work for a common goal of a classless society.
We often here the story of the ants and the grasshopper when preppers attempt to justify their greed. But didn't the grasshopper provide music for the ants while they worked? Of course he did. It was greed that caused the ants to deny the grasshopper his fair share of the food they harvested. It was this same greed that caused the grasshopper to die in the cold.
So I urge you, if a collapse or catastrophe should occur, bring out your food, your water, and share with others. Give of yourselves so that everyone can flourish.
