    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.

        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 😁

          yeah with zombie there's less people and disaster to unite around (maybe?). with an economic collapse people aren't dying they're just getting hungrier and angrier, and there isn't necessarily a universal threat to rally behind. could just be "I can secure your base level needs" and "they are a threat to us and if they don't take them out, they will take us out"

            In the case of zombies, however I end up, I'll know it's because of what I did. Nowadays, it feels like I'm the only one who isn't involved in deciding my fate.

              Eh, I don't think that much would change. Either it would be zombies who'd decide your fate or the psychopaths running things. I think you'd be surprised how many of them you'd know from the old days from TV.

                We're already on our way to number 2 so I guess it's time to prepare for that.

                    I've watched Zombieland, The Walking Dead and played The Last Of Us, Dying Light, one could say I'm an expert.

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

                            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.

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

                                    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.
