[quote=no_such_reality]That said, I think all the preppers are nutz.[/quote]
What worries me is that said nuts are disproportionally represented in the good old USA. I’m sure no one in Iraq (to give an example) hoards 1 month worth of food, let alone 1 year! Even well-off Iraqis don’t, and they live in one of the most unstable, explosive countries on earth. OTOH, here in the US we have the wealthiest, most stable democracy in the history of the world, and no one raises an eyebrow that there are so many endoftimers that even Costco caters (as in, meets their needs) to them.
