Too bad we have a POTUS who is deaf to anything but himself.

Your Perfect Storm is one fascinating story. And it reminds me of how wild animals will react when the hunters and their natural prey face a natural calamity; I was told some time ago about a forest fire --in Minnesota, full of lakes--people & animals headed for the water, bears alongside deer, wolverines & foxes amongst chipmunks, they "called a truce" then went their own ways when the danger was past.

Of course, animals have more sense than humans!

That story just came to mind after reading your post. The animals’ truce was temporary; after all they have to eat. The wolf stalked and killed itself a deer, etc. But people finding common ground when faced with a real danger—after they solve the problem together, what can ever stop them from reverting back to their original ways? Each side gave a little ground in order to achieve the goal, but how long wold it stay that way? It may take an awful calamity such as all out civil war or anarchy, deaths & destruction, before we could call a truce. We live in interesting times.
