| Yeah. The way we run our countries is idiotic. Zero resilience. First concern after floods is getting back to job, even before all the water is drained and mud cleaned, because working people live paycheck to paycheck and so on. Businesses try to keep minimum stock. Single disruption in integrated circuit supply disables whole industries. And so on. Capitalism is incompatible with resiliency. |

| If this is the sentiment on the Silicon Valley Bulletin Board that is Hacker News it may be time to take this stuff seriously |

| ▲ | mh- 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | > Silicon Valley Bulletin Board The participating commenter base on this site has been much wider than could be described that way for many years. | | |
| ▲ | lovich 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | At least a decade. I’ve never been there and joined early in my career when I was told by mentors that it was a good source of up to date news on technology and the industry | |

| ▲ | gitremote 4 days ago | parent [-] | | This is incorrect. Left-leaning preppers grow food and medicinal plants in their garden, install solar panels, and get vaccines, rather than stock up on guns and ammo. |

| ▲ | et-al 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | This is a perennial topic: - 2018, https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/feb/15/why-silicon-val... - 2022, https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/sep/04/super-rich-prep... It’s tougher to quantify and building a connected community than just profiting off users, though. |
