IMO everyone should be prepping within reason. One person told me she didn't get into prepping (and more than prepping, just self-sufficient living) until she talked to her grandmother about the depression. She said that her mom and dad would put a little bit away every month for a rainy day. They did this for years. Then the depression hit, and she said it was 2 or more years before they even started to feel the impacts of it. They had loads of extra canned food. They had a lot of extra resources (metals, fabrics, etc) that could be repurposed. Then, of course, had chickens and gardens and stuff as well.
Frankly, it's just smart to do this IMO. We live in a society where 75% of the people wouldn't have a clue how to provide for themselves if they weren't able to get their food from a grocer. Whether we have civil unrest (which is what I think is most likely) or WW3 or a famine or a market crash, or even just losing your employment, prepping and self-sufficient living is a smart plan. We're fixing to move to Indiana soon, and when we do, we're buying a house. A little bit of land is 100% necessary for me so that we can get a garden going and raise some chickens.
