by Just a few years ago, some people mocked emergency preparation. They found it weird that anyone would spend time, money, and energy stocking up and getting ready for disasters or emergencies.
That was before the world spun out of control…
Today, people who used to snicker at preppers are sounding just like them. President Biden himself recently admitted that the world is on the precipice of a devastating food shortage because of the war in Ukraine.
“It’s going to be real,” he said at a March 24th news conference in Brussels. “The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.”
So the US, too?
For those of us who’ve been engaged in emergency preparedness for a while now, it’s hard to hear all of this and not chuckle… just a little… at how the world seems to be catching up to our way of thinking.
In the spirit of sharing a chuckle, today we’re posting our favorite survival memes. We hope they bring a smile to your face.
Let’s wrap things up with a meme that says it all. Folks who don’t prep—the same ones who’ve been rolling their eyes at us for years—are stuck in what’s called “magical thinking.” That’s the idea people have… that happy thoughts can somehow materially influence the world.
Magical thinking is the demise of readiness. It’s that little voice in your head that says everything will be OK, even if you do nothing to protect yourself.
No matter what others say, keep on preparing, friends! It’s paid off in the past, and it will pay off again.
Stay alert, friends. We hope you enjoyed a lighter moment today.
