Last week, Anderson Cooper had a show on about of all things, preppers.
He asked for a show of hands from the audience about how many had a three day supply of food, water, and needed meds.
This was an audience of about 60 or so, and as you can imagine, nearly entirely middle class soccer mom types driving SUV’s or whatever.
NOT MORE THAN FOUR hands went up.
I was stuned! Truly stuned!
No matter how deep we keep trying to convince people we’re in, it’s deeper than that!
It’s that old normalcy bias.
“The stores have always been stocked, and open. Therefore, the stores will always be stocked, and open.”
