Yeah, I've seen what you are talking about. I have broken it down a little further for my area though. Young people here seem oblivious to any future events. Say, 20 years old and less. While older people here, 50 years plus, are buying food and supplies like crazy. I'd estimate the group between 20 and 50 years old at 1 out of 3 people are stocking up.

Most people here farm and many trade at our farmers market. I would expect a high survival rate in this area for any kind of economic depression or system collapse. It's more difficult to find someone here who isn't prepared then someone well prepared. At least someone in each family understands the situation in the works and is making preparations for their family. I would almost say it's outside the social norm to be unprepared for economic collapse at this time.
