Two Bills ......don't confuse meek with weak. You can be strong and yet be humble.

Reminiscent of the Submarine Force. We had mental stamina training to prepare for the worst.

And it doesn't matter what the currency is after the apocalypse, what matters is who controls it - again power.

If I were a multi-billionaire I would not worry so much about having a comfy bed to sleep in, as I would invest in a serious power station (in my underground bunker) - maybe nuke - energy will be one of the most valuable assets.
Nope, no envy at all................

en·vy
a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck.

I am not discontent, I am not resentful as a result of their belongings. I am very resentful with what they do with their belongings. And that resent is not envious, it is anger.
