Bed, I hate to say/think this, but "as long as the electric works, there's food in the fridge, etc." I felt like there would be more "pain" as we got closer to the precipice like black outs/brown outs, unreliable services like internet, communications, TV/cable which would effect things like: banking, paying bills, funds availability, conducting business transactions, etc. I know those people as well. I don't think many things will wake them up until somethings begin affecting them personally. And, I'm not saying that I wish for these events because it will affect us as well. We may just be a bit more prepared.
Scare event is 100% need. When it happens, they will have no choice but to wake up. It's not going to be a pleasant awakening for them, but they need a proverbial smack in the face.
