Interesting article but I don't agree with the arithmetic:
Only 20% of rural Yanks "prep"? My experience is that rural USA is extremely self supporting and able to manage the odd month or three of being cut-off from the outside world with disruption to grid supplied power. 60%+ effectively prepped is more like it.
I liked the phrase "supported by man-built infrastructure" though. That sums up city living, with unrecognised dependency on fragile systems to keep it all working.
