"What do people expect will happen?"

IMHO, people don't expect anything to happen. As long as they have their tv, their smartphone, and their job, they will ignore everything around them. "I"m fine." I've heard that so many times. That's all that matters. Until they are personally and catastrophically impacted, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

Sad how self-centered and blind so many have become.

I'm afraid you are right Shibumi, although from my POV, if asked to help out, I'd do it. Right now I'm trying to figure out where and who to donate to in the Helene ravaged areas of NC and Tenn. ----Churches Donate 36 (now 62+!) RVs to Hurricane Hellene Victims - Amish Donate $300K and Build 12 Tiny Homes------ artofliberty@substack.com This is a phenomenal report on what IS going on to help those in dire circumstances in the mountain communities when the gov't is totally absent

Samaritan's Purse is a good option

There are many people who are trying to help, but it's hard to know how to contribute.

The one thing that we can all do is pray for those who are still coping with these horrific circumstances.

Thank you for saying this shibumi.

I canтАЩt disagree with you shibumi, people have become so тАЬdesensitizedтАЭ nothing bothers most people anymore.

I hear all the time

тАЬoh well thatтАЩs life.тАЭ

Sadly, whatтАЩs happened is not life when a handful of narcissistic sociopath decides if and or when тАЬwe live or die!тАЭ

Thank you shibumi, you are absolutely correct.

The alternate version of this, which has been said to me by a liberal Boomer is:

"Change is inevitable, we have to go along with it, we can't fight it."

Yeah, I'm not going to go along with the psychopaths, eat bugs and live in a digital prison, waiting to be killed by the government/Big Pharma.

You and me both shibumi. I just wrote something on Meryl NashтАЩs substack page in response to the California fires.

What I learned a couple of years ago was three independent psychological peer reviewed studies explained why people who align with the тАЬleftistтАЭ mentality is because theyтАЩre 2.5 times more likely to suffer from / have narcissistic personality disorders / mental health disorders / personality disorders, etc. 2.5 times the rate for people who align with the right side. ThatтАЩs not anything to shrug off. I have always considered myself neither left nor right but тАЬwhatтАЩs right.тАЭ Simply because I never agreed with being labeled. IMO, labeling anyone is wrong. Unfortunately society has accepted this fact and all it does is create problems. Human beings are uniquely capable of understanding between

тАЬGood vs EvilтАЭ or

тАЬRight vs WrongтАЭ when someone says to me, as your friend said, change is inevitable. ThatтАЩs true, change is inevitable. What kind of change is the problem. I would not want to fly into an airport anywhere knowing the air traffic controllers are тАЬblind!тАЭ Or meet some kind of тАЬsocial-constructтАЭ which may put my life in jeopardy. D.E.I is NOT about D.E.IтАжrather itтАЩs being used to тАЬconquer & divide!тАЭ These are Marxist agenda, ideologically driven tactics. I donтАЩt think people have any problem understanding changes are inevitable. Of course they are. Thank you shibumi for sharing this. ItтАЩs critical we try and understand each otherтАЩs mindsets, if possible. I havenтАЩt met anyone that knows everything about everything. Which is exactly why I believe we must always try and understand what someone else is saying and vice versa.
