I agree that the pandemic, the disruptions to our global supply chains, and the resulting increase in prices has exacerbated political tensions everywhere.
This situation is further exacerbated by Vladimir Pooptard tryinta take over the world.
The tectonic plate situation is heating up, as well.
However, I don't believe these dangers will wipe us out.
Even in the very likely event of a tsunami that fulfills the somewhat less likely scenario of unearthing another pandemic, more than half of us will live.
Picture it. Close to half of the world's population was born in my lifetime.
My formula for avoiding the global problems (not catastrophic, but yes, bad) that will hit us in the next 50 years is to start getting used to off grid living, and to avoid the red zones on ^^ this map.
I would also urge everybody to avoid the areas where Putin has threatened to drop his nukes. Funny, I don't believe he'll drop nukes on Ukraine, but I do believe he'll drop that one off the coast of England that he's been threatening. Stay in central England, people. Avoid the coasts until that whackjob dies.
I think the rest of Europe might be ok... well they won't get nuked, at least.
DC, NYC, LA, and anywhere in the continental US where there is a military base, or well known nuclear silo might also be at risk.
I'm in the perfect place to wait out the apocalypse, assuming no ginormous space rocks slam into us this century. (I'm also watching the sky, more bc I enjoy looking at the stars than worries about meteors, so I'm prepared for that, too :))
The Ruzzians don't give any actual fucks about Canada, except maybe as a way to make some Americans cry. (Remember when the Ruzzians tortured the zoo animals as they left Kherson and strung up their little corpses where the Ukrainians would be sure to find them? If they come for Canada that's how they'll do it, so I'll be prepared :D) In the highly unlikely event that they do decide to nuke us, only 4 places could look remotely attractive to them. Ottawa Parliament, Toronto, including the airport and the military base, Calgary oil, and maaaaybe Hamilton steel. I highly doubt they'll nuke us, but I do plan to stay away from those places until Pooptard dies.
And food. Yes and yes :)
Strawberries will grow in a purse lol and potatoes will grow in a bucket.
My recent incident with the system witholding my money for no good reason has shown me that those assholes are not to be trusted. And I thoroughly despise soup kitchens. So this will be the year that I figure out indoor farming :)
I eat potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and sometimes peas. Unfortunately, most of my favourite fruits are tropical, or grow on trees, or both. So I'm pretty much stuck with strawberries and blueberries if I want to be self sufficient.
Got me a rockin new sewing machine last time I had money. Imma put that baby to use, as well.
But the bunnies :'( They're the perfect apocalypse food, and I do plan to start learning about hunting and skinning very soon, so I can breed them for meat. But they're so cute :'( I may put the bunny farm off until next year.
Maybe I'll try hunting deer soon.

Check out the young buck up the middle. The first one on the vid. Great muscle tone on that little guy.
He'll probably be delicious by next year :)
