  • I think it’s good. Any sort of community protection and networking can inspire actions elsewhere. I can only hope it increases.

    But I am not sure how much of this will be remaining once the current danger goes away. Hopefully there will be long term benefits which stay when people are less threatened

    The main danger to most Americans, at this point, is for the sense of danger to go away.

    Because what is killing most of us, and ruining lives, is the quiet stuff: lack of food, threats to shelter, illness, powerlessness, being virtual slaves economicly. This kills millions of Americans each year, while the current drama is only hurting hundreds of thousands at the same time.

    It is very possible for there to be a renewed sense of false security and for the economy to not be trashed. Tens of millions of people would sink down into apathy again and there will be no chance of reform or positive change.

    More people would live longer and be happier if things got really bad, because then there would be real change in many positive directions.
