Hardly...calling them "climate refugees" only proves my point about being gullible and naive...get real...geeze...!I take it you are not a prepper. While it's true that civilizations take centuries to fall, our technotopia is more fragile than most people realize. One Carrington Event or an EMP attack would turn EVs into yard art. We're already seeing climate refugees from Central America on our borders. How are we going to handle that when they start arriving by the millions instead of the tens of thousands?
Meanwhile, nobody wants to pay for maintaining our decaying infrastructure, much less building it for future needs. Other countries are doing better, so we can plan on sinking back to the status of 20th century Spain while China and Brazil take over world leadership. I have my doubts the US will survive anyway. Foreign agents are pushing us to dissolve the union and turn us into a collection of Balkan states.
As for prepping against possible NATURAL disasters...one of the things I maintain is a a couple of lead lined chests that protect certain electronics and communication devices etc...!
