Reply to comment by pegothejerk in Zombie pigeons in the UK: Mystery bird illness turns living birds into zombies by AugustWolf22

I dunno man. between climate change destruction, the ever wider and wider wealth disparity between the ruling corporate class and the rest of us and this zombie bird virus, I think maybe we'd have a better chance of survival with a zombie apocalypse.

In fact, they tend to cascade. Environmental damage, drought or flood, reduced crop yields, famine, war, plague. Usually in that order but sometimes they get mixed up, and sometimes you get a bonus natural disaster.

Pay them under the table with brains, while also loudly complaining about how the place is being overrun with zombies.

> Pay them

Remember you have to compete with nations with slave labor, so if you even have to pay the zombies it's not worth it.

I'd probably be OK with that since we are living in their shelter, eating their food and using their weapons.

I think a zombie apocalypse would be far more enjoyable than the one we got now.
