      There are doomsday prepper magazines, which seems like it would be a poor business model if they were right, what with it relying on future issues coming out to sell advertising.

        I dunno, sounds pretty good to me. If you’re wrong, there’s always the mystery of what the future could bring to sell your magazines. If you’re right, you’ve suddenly got a huge list of addresses for people you know are probably well stocked with pretty much whatever you told them they needed.

    American Evangelicals: THE RAPTURE IS COMING AND THE TRIBULATION IS NIGH!

    Jehovah’s witnesses: THEY ARE COMING FOR US, THEY’RE COMING FOR US BECAUSE WE’RE WITNESSES!

    Mormons: WE’RE GONNA NEED THE FOOD STORES WE WERE TOLD TO MAKE, JUST YOU WAIT!

    Scientists: Climate Change will lead to everything going to shit if we don’t do shit now.

    All of them together: BULLSHIT!
