People are generally clueless about how to fend for themselves I think. A reliance on supermarkets, Uber food delivery, electricity, and anyone but themselves is getting worse and worse and with no thought to at least building some skills...well, I see them as victims when compared to those who have skills.
The really funny part is they are oblivious. Say things like, that'll never happen and yet...2020. stupid cunts.
As for all the conflicts and possible escalation, I have to agree. There's a lot going on and when the ICBM's start flying...won't go well. I love several minutes from an airforce base and in a State that assists the US in their tracking and surveillance operations globally so I get your point on proximity.
