"clearly Louis DeJoy is not head postmaster in the apocalypse" - this made me lol
I did some reading about the economy around the ocean before and it's fascinating (and horrifying). So much crazy lack of regulation and so many taking advantage of 'international waters' to do all kinds of crazy stuff, not to mention how impossible it is to police every part of the damn ocean!
There's something so satisfying about a good advice book (or even just a good advice story).
Sometimes when I think about what would happen if the world as we knew it collapsed. Once my mom was all worked up about some dumb youtube video she watched that said that the government was secretly switching us to "world money" on a certain date and the US dollar would be no good anymore and she was freaking out. ANd I was like mom, even if this was true, which is definitely is not, if there was THAT level of the US dollar becoming worthless, there's not a damn thing you could have that would 'protect' you. It's interesting and terrifying to think about.
