Exactly! The idea that you can just go down to the store and get something to eat, clean water, any number of luxuries is a modern one.
The truth is that for the vast history of human civilization, the reality has been that people had to store weeks if not months worth of food and supplies. It was just the way the world worked.
I mean, look at what happened during the first WuFlu scare! Nothing was wrong with the logistics, Internet, communications, or power, yet all the stores were OUT of water, TP, and anything non-perishable.
Imagine the panic if any of these systems actually have a gap. We've been existing literally 72hrs from total chaos for generations.
My father grew up in a poor farming family. He thought we were starving if we didn't have a freezer FULL of meat.
The current generations have lost that mentality, and it's a recent attitude.
My parents grew up during the depression and WWll had "ration" booklets. So they were making sure they had enough food for the family. With 8 kids, we needed it!

ABSOLUTELY. What's insane is thinking our very very very modern supply chains are unshakable and eternal.
