Underground bunkers are a prepper fantasy held by people with masculinity issues. They’re completely useless without supply chains and communities to support them.
What gets people through hardtimes isn’t individualist isolationism. It is collective support, community building and cooperation. The pooling together of labour within groups in order to perform tasks more efficiently overall for the collective benefit.
My understanding is that communities require children to continue existing. People in this thread are saying they don’t want children because climate change. My position is that that opinion is really stupid, and what you just said about communities would suggest you feel the same.
I don’t think there is any particular problem with people having fewer children. It creates a short-term labour burden in terms of having to divert more resources to elderly care but the rate of birth change isn’t likely to change too dramatically to affect much. You just reduce the population over time and that’s fine. Fewer people isn’t a problem as long as the labour exists to support the food, clothing and shelter output you require for the combination of capable + incapable that your community has. Starvation in the short term is the larger concern.
