Swiss Are The World's Best Preppers

More than any other country, Switzerland’s ethos is centered around preparing for civilizational collapse.

All around Switzerland, for example, one can find thousands of water fountains fed by natural springs. Zurich is famous for its 1200 fountains, some of them quite beautiful and ornate, but it’s the multiple small, simple fountains in every Swiss village that really tell the story. Elegant, yes, but if and when central water systems are destroyed these fountains are a decentralized and robust system for providing everyone with drinkable water.

The Swiss political system is also decentralized. If the central government fails, the Swiss might not even notice. The mountains and valleys also mean that Swiss towns and villages are geographically independent yet linked in a spider-web of robust connections.

In the US, however, we're prepared for nothing, not even another large storm. When things do go south, and they will, we're likely to tear each other apart in a futile effort to survive.

Thank you, Congress.

Thank you, Federal Reserve System.

Thank you, Wall Street.

Thank you, identity politicians.

Thank you, social media.
