Stuff like this can happen so easily, all the time, everywhere. Our economies are made of paper. Most Americans a rent check away from despair. And as much as people don’t like it, we all constantly depend on one another to hold up the social contract.

Which is why I struggle when people don’t take these threats as seriously as they should. When you’re hyper attune to danger, these situations feel like you are always watching a car crash happen in slow motion. It makes you feel helpless and scared, for we should KNOW BETTER.
