    well of course. there are preppers and other people who always expect the worst. everyone is different and when you make such a comment the ones who are prepared feel disrespected, even if they are not the biggest group in those countries. a lot of people live there and even relatively small groups can nominally have tens or hundreds of thousands of people.

      Id argue that most people think that the good times never end, which is why economies and stock markets are constantly crashing. They don’t prepare for it not being perfect.
