That might be true, but that's also an extreme scenario. If I'm stuck on the 10th floor because the stuff outside is dangerous, I'm reaching for a weapon before I'm texting friends to ask about grocery stores.
- Jtsummers 6y agoIf we're at the point where people are actually reaching for a weapon and shooting their neighbors, most of us are fucked regardless of where we are. Actually knowing and being known and trusted by your neighbors is one way to prevent this hypothetical Mad Max dystopia. The idea of being stuck on the 10th floor without power and not having a Mad Max dystopia is actually quite feasible with the state of the US electric grid and preparations for extreme storms. Knowing your neighbors means you, if you're unable to go up/down the stairs for whatever reason, are not totally alone for days or weeks while infrastructure is restored. Based on going through hurricanes in the US South, it's usually been better to know other people than to believe you're truly self-reliant.
