Everybody should be stocked up, but I doubt they are. Very few people learn from the past and even less plan for the future.

Even if you don't believe civil unrest is going to happen (or disrupt anything), you should still have preps. A natural disaster can shut down the supply chains for quite a while. Hell, you could lose your job tomorrow and not having to worry about where your family's next meal or TP roll is going to come from, is a major stress relief.
