People don’t realize how precious a high-trust society is, until it is gone.

Woke corporations are realizing it too.

I’ve spent time in Costa Rica, a very pleasant place for the most part, but your post made me think how it is not nor likely ever has been a ‘high-trust’ society. Even little shops have a big guy standing by the door to let you in and make sure you’ve paid as you leave.

Middle-class houses typically have razor wire along their high walls and gates, bars on all the windows, etc. etc.

Supermarkets have employees watching you as you shop, eager to help you find what you’re looking for but also making sure you don’t put anything in your pocket.

The big difference, of course, is the law down there is openly on the side of the store and home owner as opposed to the situation in many American cities.
