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”
