With the way
that things are heading in this country, it is not surprising
that there are approximately
3 million preppers in the United States today. What is
surprising is that there are not more people prepping. The economy is rapidly falling
to pieces, the national debt
is absolutely soaring, the earth is becoming
increasingly
unstable, a major war
could erupt in the Middle
East at any time and the fabric of our society is coming apart
right in front of our eyes. We have become incredibly dependent on technology and we have become incredibly dependent on our economic system. If a major
natural disaster, a
killer pandemic, an EMPattack or the imposition of martial law
caused a significant
transportation disruption, America would literally
change overnight. We
live during a time of tremendous
global instability, and yet
most people still see no need to start prepping at all. Most people just
continue to have blind faith
in our leaders and in our
system. But what happens if our leaders fail us? What happens if our
system collapses? What are they
going to do then?
The
number
of preppers in the United States today is steadily
increasing, but the vast majority of people out there still see no reason to start getting ready for “the
end of the world as we know it”.
Most people just assume things
will always somehow get better
or that they will somehow be immune to whatever calamities are heading our way. Most people always seem to have a “good excuse” for why
they do not need to prepare.
