*headdesking* through the apocalypse

[valarltd]

I am married to a man who would go to work the day after the world ended.

He reminded me that utilities and infrastructure are automated and mostly self-sustaining.
And he maintains that people will collect in cities, ebcause that's where there are goods and services.

I maintain nobody is going back to work the day after the world ends, and once the stores run out, Maslow and Darwin come in full force.


That said, I'm trying to figure out the settlements for Barbarossa's Bitch.
We have two sets of religious whackaloons, a male-supremacist camp, several patriarchial farming settlements, a university, and an Amazon Freehold.

You guys are both optimists. Big natural disasters have shown what people do. We get stories about the people who are good and band together but there's a lot of people who are like those Black Monday people at WalMart every year. The stores would all be stripped in a matter of hours and there would be a great deal of violence that people would justify to themselves with a 'them or me' sort of mentality. Think about the language of the Republican base around Healthcare and social services... A distant intangible 'threat' which actually might benefit them. Now imagine those people in an actual scarcity/threat situation. :(

Ooh! Ooh! You have to have at least one camp of survivalist hippies! At least one of the groups must have been able to get enough firearms to preserve pacifism. I see tie-die and uzzies. I am pleased. *giggles*
