>Between climate and the looming covid recession, is there even a point to planning for the future?

For real? Imagine having lived through a global depression, fighting a world war on the other side of the planet and watching an entire society vapourized by nuclear weapons, all in the span of a decade.

>I might as well enjoy my money while I can do things with it.

You should always enjoy your money, because you can't take it with you.




> watching an entire society vapourized by nuclear weapons

What society was that?


hiroshima nagasaki


Presumably by that you mean to imply the entirety of Japanese society was vaporized by nuclear weapons?

It wasn't. Japan and its society are still there, even the cities those bombs were dropped on weren't vaporized in their entirety, nor were their societies.
