To be honest I smell a scam with this. Why not set up a company, ALCOR or what ever, where you freeze people in Liquid N2 and for a price promise to keep them this way with a vague idea that in the future they will be revived. That is a great way to empty out the 401Ks of the gullible and make a killing.
When it come to the world falling apart this Cov SARS-2 is perturbing things a bit. Congress is debating another relief, not because many are that friendly to the idea of giving out money, but if enough people lose homes and go hungry there will be "torch and pitchfork," more likely assault rifle, bearing mobs coming to cut their throats. The last few months have seen society here tremble a bit. All it takes is for some perturbing event to seriously collapse things, in particular if the electrical grid goes down. Yep, without that people in cryocells and the rest will turn into rotting meat. A method for reviving people from this cryogenic state is a long way off, if it ever happens or is even possible.
