It reads like the lock step cold war prepper scenario. Fall out shelters, stored food supplies, and stored medical supplies.
There will always be those that think the end of the world is coming quickly. Lots of folks that specialize in producing food storage products, solar/wind generation, water purification, etc make a ton of money promoting that prepper idealology.
I'm one that is pretty sure it will die out like the cold war thinking.
I'd sure hate to be living my every day life with the thought that the world is going to end tomorrow.
I agree with you to a point, but it doesn't cost that much to keep a little extra food, water, ammo, and medicine on hand just in case. I believe it's a fad that is already fading (at least in my area), and I hope all the niche businesses associated with the prepper industry don't expect to be cashing in long term.
My family went through hurricanes Rita and Ike about 10 years ago, and we were prepared. There were ALOT of folks around us who were in a real bind though.
