Oh, there’s a damn good reason for intensified concerns.
It means people will not get lazy and complacent.
“Be Prepared” is rarely stupid shit advice.
Weren’t you prepared for a recession that never happened under Biden? Was that “stupid shit”? No. Because it “could have happened”. Same here. It could happen that disaster will happen.
The empty cargo ships in Oregon right now from China with the delay period before stocks run low isn’t “stupid shit” to be concerned with. But you CAN ignore it and trust everything will be fine.
But I think THAT way of thinking is stupid shit.
