For those who deny it, they make no allowances for the processes that are chipping away at the sustainability of their society and thus hasten its collapse.
For those people who do accept what is occurring, and that is many of us here, strange things begin to happen. On the one hand, these individuals are going to make what personal preparations that they can, and not depend on the government to provide them with any protection from the coming troubles.
And for some of us older readers, acceptance means purposely going down with the ship. I started eating everything I wanted while it was still on the shelves at Costco, retired about a year earlier than full retirement age, sold my SoCal house to move back to my home town in the midwest (and avoided a 12-day evacuation in the fires last fall). I do stock up the house, but that is to avoid driving in snow.
I've had a good life and would change very little of it. When it's time to move on, that's OK too.

Yes, some of us work to pay for our preps. Wouldn't it stand to reason though that the harder you worked the more money you make the more preps you should be able to do. Why then has my competive edge my will to strive to excell deminished in the work place. If anything it should drive me harder.
This is your anwers I guess

Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting valuable time at the office, working with abstractions, when I could be planting, hoeing, chopping, splitting, building, planning, or something that MATTERS.
there are just too many jobs that are meaningless
jobs that don't provide any satisfaction other then the money
being peakoilaware only renders more (your own) jobs meaningless
I worked in the diamond industry, and with every stone I studied I knew I made my boss richer, the client richer, some millionaire consumer happy with his big fat stone, but in the end you're doing nothing that matters or maybe even for worse, earning a tiny fraction of the money you made for your boss _________________ www.peakoil.be
