Excellent summary on what is wrong with this country. We have become a nation of spoiled, shallow, ignorant children, who believe that our prosperity and security are absolute. The truth is it can all be gone in an instant and most people are totally unprepared.
GF and I were having this same discussion last night as she was cutting my hair. I'd ordered clippers from Amazon and received my first haircut in over 2 months. I desperately needed it.
I commented on how much people were re-discovering things that they should be doing for themselves. Haircuts are a basic and simple one. I've been cooking daily and luckily for me, I really enjoy cooking. GF says I'm quite good at it.
I fixed my 2003 GMC Envoy that needed all new coil packs, plugs, wires and an oil change a few weeks back. I'm quite technically adept so I've been fixing friends and neighbor's computers, something which I said I'd never do again some ten years ago.
Fixed my clothes dryer myself last month, learned how to sew buttons with my heavily arthritic fingers and more.
I hear more and more about people re-learning/re-discovering the things they can and should be doing for themselves. It's one of the few bright spots that's coming out of all this China virus bullshit.
