Sad but true, people don't pay attention anymore
Who else here's old enough to remember most of us being taught the following two words growing up...
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS.
It's definitely becoming a lost art. It's not like things have changed that dramatically in the last 30+ years as far as the threat of things like this. People have though, whether it's us being blind to it all or just chosen ignorance I don't know anymore. It's like me having had to explain recently why I knew something was going on. I saw red flags, yet so many others ignore it like it'll fix itself or there's nothing wrong with complacency.
People forget to pass things along to the younger generation. Me, I grew up having to duck and cover for more than one reason. Heck, I remember watching missiles come out of the hills in Pacifica and locally.
