   @gameragodzilla I'm a big believer that people do tend to step up, though. When you look at natural disasters there's a lot of good stories. I agree generally people were *way* tougher a few decades ago, especially most of the WW2 generation in the US that had gone through the depression.

      @sulman @gameragodzilla @maiyannah True, but the other thing is that we have been well-trained to defer to experts instead of doing for ourselves. What that means is that even if people step up, they'll be much less effective because they have no idea of improvising with whatever is at hand.
