    I feel like the former scenario would just lead to the latter anyway, but with zombies.

    So I'll go for 'just' complete economic collapse, please 😁

      the premise is you can prepare anyway you want for either event or you can say either even just surprised you, let speculation run wild. with Zombie-like apocalypses can be anything last of us fungus, walking dead disease, or just a disease that wipes out 90-99% of the population and your one of survivors. With the economic downturn, The governments have collapsed in such a way as to make all currency completely useless and their rule can easily be challenged.

      Zombies because of the premise that I’m one of the survivors; could find a nice isolated island live a decent off grid lifestyle. If I have time to prepare can even bring niceties like a bunch of raspberry pi’s and hardware and just chill out farming and playing games, developing software, writing, etc. Try to restart civilization.

        I think dealing with zombies would be easier.

          We're dealing with brain dead people either way, just in one case it is easier to dispose them

            Something tells me we’re probably going to get both.

              Zombies. It's a concrete problem with a clear solution.

              And after the apocalypse is finished there's probably gonna be Iike, jobs available, and plenty of empty real estate. Opportunities!

                  Braindead former humans wander the land aimlessly and cause huge problems for everyone else.

                  They're the same picture

                    Sooo does that mean my present government and civil order is doing just fine in the remaining pocket of survivors?

                    If so, in a lot of ways, that would be good for me. No shortage of housing or food, and lots of new opportunities. It's not ethical to condemn pretty much everyone else, though, if I literally am deciding for it to happen in-universe.

                      Zombies so I won't feel guilty shooting everything that can't have a conversation.

                          For the zombies scenario? That's what I meant - you've presented it as either-or, but a serious loss of population seems like it could lead to political instability fairly easily. Political instability always sucks to live through.

                            Yeah it's a would you rather so it's an either/or. Everyone turning into some kind of zombie would be different than everyone not turning into zombies but the government stops functioning
