If you are planning your life around putting money into assets tied to the imperial core e.g. housing and retirement how do you feel abt the entire financial system being a giant bubble (lemmy.ml)

Yeah, having been in a surprise proper emergency (no power, water, limited roads, cell service, etc for over a week) having some emergency supplies and a radio (if you have a car, AM/FM radio in that is great) completely changes things

    Yeah we're kind of remote and we once went for I think 9 days without power after a big weather event. Having a radio and a little gas camping stove were lifesavers. Also get lots of candles and books, one of my main memories of that time is how boring it was lol.

    Next thing I want to do is get solar-ed up so we can just flip that on for an hour or two if needed. The previous power cut was years ago when a solar setup wasn't really feasible.
