I've been on it for three years now. When the world went stark raving mad three years ago, I could see all of this coming. So, I moved to a place with a larger percentage of like minded people (my county has the lowest jab rate in NYS, and has had the lowest rate of covid all along), I have put in lots of both perennial and annual sources of veggies and fruit, I'm working on chickens, I've put in a wood burning stove, and financially I have diversified heavily into non-fiat assets. I own property in several different types of communities in NYS, including NYC which I am trying to sell. I am as ready as I will ever be, and am a bit excited about the changes coming, to be honest. If the world order is toppled - it does feel like the rulers have lost control - we can build anew.
One of the rabid vaxxers has called me to apologize, just so you know. Not all of them remain determined to have been right.
