Keeping industrial civilization going is a complex, hard, often dirty and frequently dangerous business. An honest leader levels with the people who benefit from all that work and says so. Accidents will happen, but what’s the alternative? No electricity, no cars, no planes, no TV, no Internet, no nothing, basically. Return to subsistence farming, no modern conveniences, no clean water, none of the amenities people have come to expect as their right. That’s your choice folks. There’s no free lunch.
