I cannot wrap my head around the endgame here. If you destroy the planet, crash the global economy, and leave ordinary people too broke to buy anything, what exactly are billionaires planning to do with all that money? Sit in underground bunkers staring at bank balances while the world falls apart? Wealth is only valuable when there's a functioning society around it. So what exactly are they trying to win?

I think for the dry biscuity side of survival after the government disaster, marine supplies like these would serve well. Will last 4 years. Just need to keep away rodents.

The Government "Be Ready" campaign urges us to stockpile tinned food that doesn’t require heating. Apparently this includes baked beans. But what other tinned food would you like to eat cold? Anchovies? Pineapple? Ham?

Lezende man bij maanlicht. Door een volger van Rembrandt staat er, niet welke. Ik neem aan dat een volger uit het Engels is en staat voor een leerling. Schitterend werk!
