Why would I want to survive an apocalypse? I'd rather prep for a peaceful and painless death.
Unless you have a bunch of fentanyl, then the former is more likely than the latter.
There are cheap and painless methods for suicide without medication. They will become widely known when the downfall accelerates.
Agreed to a certain extent. But cheap and painless is hard to do without some kind of medication. Fentanyl is cheap and definitely painless. That's literally what it's designed to do. Name one way to do it that's cheaper and more humane. The downfall is here. I have a kid that eliminates my chances of an easy out. I can't do it. But without him, I would. I'm going to have to live this downfall at least as long as I can. Or until he does, then it's just open season.
