<p>I find the prepper industry fascinating. It’s 100% predicated on an utter fantasy (well, several interlocking fantasies, but who’s counting?) but how people earnestly cosplay post-apocalyptic preparedness is really wild.

Or crypto) it looks like most of the people on the selling-things side actually believe what they’re doing. <a href="https://press.coop/@seattletimes/112818950431478896" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">press.coop/@seattletimes/11281</span><span class="invisible">8950431478896</span></a></p>
