This has been a major generational cultural shift. I learned from old-timers who grew up in the depression and have a 3-month supply of food and batteries and a water filter in their garage, a tow-strap and toolkit in their car, a shotgun in their safe, and money in seven different bank accounts as well as at least 3 cash stash spots and some gold hidden away somewhere. They grew up in a time where almost nothing has the reliability that (we think) it does today. A less safe time all around. The reality is, we have a much more interconnected web of dependencies with little capacity to absorb disruptions. We'll almost certainly see some much more significant consequences when those now low probability events finally do occur.
