Same here, but that speaks volumes. You are a kook if you prep for an economic collapse, but earthquakes are scary and .... they've happened before! (So Normalcy Bias cannot really apply). The USA as an economic entity has never completely died before (GD was a cakewalk in comparison to what may be coming).
I'd give a brutal earthquake in my lifetime maybe 10% odds (used to be a geology major). An economic/currency collapse more like 90%. Not happy about that, no, not looking forward to it - but it is a mathematical certainty at some point. Do I want it to happen? Absolutely not, no way Jose.
The only thing holding this mess together is a printing press and a military ready to trounce any country trying to mess with our Ponzi. Just a house of cards being protected by brute force.
I am no super-prepper. There are probably dozens of people or even hundreds here who read these forums that are much better prepared. In fact, a city prepper in an oxymoron. But I've always figured doing something is always better than doing nothing at all and the 95% do nothing at all.
