Ordinary Americans spent $11 billion on survival tools last year, boasting about their preparedness and more. However, the issue lies not with ordinary Americans but with the wealthy who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars securing underground complexes, private islands, and residential apartments in anticipation of doomsday.
