Very true. Preppers have endured years of harassment and mockery from family, friends, and co-workers, but it now looks like the big one has hit and all those preparations will finally pay off. A common future conversation: "Excuse me, kind sir. Could you perhaps spare some beans, aspirin, or a roll of toilet paper?"
Stock markets, bond yields, and oil prices are currently melting down. Safety circuit breakers expected to kick in, again. $9 trillion wiped out so far. Already worse than the 2008 crash.
Also, panic in northern Italy as masses of desperate citizens attempt to escape to the south before lockdown takes effect. Riots in at least 6 different prisons.
