Humans live in a 'Now" bubble. If something happened yesterday, forget about it. If it's something for tomorrow, they'll check their schedule. Deal with it tomorrow, if they have to.
The collapse of the United States is coming on slow so people don't see the big picture. They see what the news feeds give them on a daily basis and that is what they focus on, what's happened today.
When a natural disaster hits, they worry about their house, their neighborhood and offer a prayer, maybe, for those affected but breathe a sigh of relief that it wasn't them.
When the electrical grid, water and sewage systems, natural gas distribution systems, home heating oil and so on, finally fail to arrive at people's homes someday soon, then they'll start to pay attention. But until then, it's someone else's problem. "I have to get to work, take the kids to school, cook dinner, feed the dog, and watch the evening news on Fox. Nothing else matters."
Yeah true, and the totalitarian, ruling, billionaire class doesn't help the encroaching threat of collapse any by sending their fascistic, demented, criminal, child rapist and his cultic following after the rest of us in order to deliberately ratchet up the ever present, existential dread, fear and anxiety in our lives.

P.S. I wanted to contribute to your urban mobility fund but I just can't bring myself to use ParasitePal
That’s okay. I have venmo and zelle that you could use.
Yep.
