    2.5 years worth of fuel? I’m no disaster prepper but uh I’d want to hear about solar and batteries, etc.

    Imagine living for 2.5 years in that, somehow miraculously it not turning into a Fallout scene with a bunch of entitled rich pricks who suddenly can’t order others around, and then being forced back into the “real world” where you have nothing. What was accomplished?

    Are they going to have chefs? Do they have 2.5 years worth of food?

    If they have a sniper post you assume they understand things could be quite hostile as society finally implodes, do they have an armory? Solar powered vehicles…?

    These fuckers should all play fallout. Might realize what was lost.

      I wonder how the fuel is stored. Under ideal conditions diesel can last 1.5-2 years. Otherwise, they only have 6-12 months.

      And those of us who have played should do some thinking and understand the real lesson to take from the game is that cooperation is the sole way to avoid that grim outcome.

        I always remember the Preppers show episode with the hippie commune. They were already involved with the local community and were talking about how they would just invite everyone to the party and keep scaling up. The show tried so hard to inject problems into the plan but they were the only ones who looked like they had a realistic idea. Everyone else was planning to solo the world or bug out to ???.

        Real world there are plenty of examples of the local community pulling together before the government and cops show up to take charge and screw it all up.

          Humans are genetically disposed to cooperation.

          Our financial system is mathematically disposed to competition.

          Go figure.
