Planning for retirement by selling everything off, building a bunker in the wilderness, and stocking it with gats and food because of economic uncertainty?
Your complaint is about a fringe element that doesn't have much influence. Focus on the important stuff, OK?

The biggest source of greenhouse gases worldwide is cows. I don't advocate anything like a vegetarian diet, but we would do well if we just ate less meat, especially beef. Such high scale beef production wouldn't be possible without gigantic government subsidies which are well intended but very misguided. In the western US, cows graze on federal land, rent-free.
