Mrs GBC used to give me the business about planning stops on shopping trips based on never making left hand turns out of parking lots without the benefit of a 4-way stop or traffic light.

How hard it is to plan, just a little???

The worst normalcy bias I ever saw was Sept 11, 2001. That event certainly clued me into who around me was going to be an asset during any kind of non-normal situation.

If we had a culture that valued looking forward, aka, “preparing for a rainy day”, prepping is what everyone would do who is not mentally ill or socially warpped in some way. We are now an instant gratification culture. The ghetto won.

Also, the survival industry has cried “Wolf!” too many times to scare up customers and elitists ridicule people who prepare in response to the chicken little survival industry. They’ve misled and made fear asses of a lot of people, ruining their reputations with family and friends. They have broken up marriages.

Be normal. Prepare for a rainy day. Ignore the fear porn industry. They ARE manipulating people’s emotions for the money.
