An inflection point?

Saw this today:

Well, I don’t know if that title is how I would put it. But it does seem like we might be at a kind of inflection point, where an idea that had currency in a small minority, prepping, begins to achieve wider acceptance.

To be sure, the people clogging Costcos right now (probably helping to spread Covid-19 in the process) are not preppers. They are reactors. And some who currently contemplate a newfound commitment to prepping will forget and move on when the present crisis passes.

But I do think some see the need to make a change and start being prepared for the possibility of a significant social disruption. And make no mistake, significant social disruption is likely in the cards. That the Covid-19 crisis may leave many folks in better shape for future problems might be a small silver lining in this cloud.
