I have tried to talk to my grown children about all of this but it goes on deaf ears. I won't stop but I'm afraid that survival in the short term takes precedence over any concerns for the long term in most peoples lives now. Few care about what will happen a decade from now, because what is happening today and tomorrow is all that matters. Very few even think about next week. For those of us who know what's coming, prepare and survive as best as you can. Maybe there will be enough survivors left by the end of this century to try again.

I like how optimistic this started out, do you really think there’s a chance that a child born today might not see societal collapse? I am 51 years old and I’m assuming it’s going to happen before I die. It would be amazing if my niece didn’t have to be around for it, but I don’t think we’re gonna last that long.

I enjoy snacking on raw almond and the last two bags of almonds I bought contained nothing but skinny, flat, sometimes deformed almonds. They taste ok it’s just that there’s nothing to them. I gave some to the squirrels and they looked confused.

I think almonds are over because of the climate. This is upsetting as I have switched to almond milk because I’m not interested in contracting H5N1 from dirty cow milk. I’ve been wanting to be vegan for years, thanks to the death of public health I’ve finally made the leap. They found prion disease in cows in Tennessee last year and we never heard about it again. I have a hard time believing it was just a cow or two and that was it.
