People tend to be emotional, not cold and statistical about risk and tragedy. Reminds me of the stat -- "the annual odds that an American child will die in a mass shooting at school are nearly 10 million to 1, about the odds of being killed by lightning or of dying in an earthquake" [0]. And no, I'm not pro school shooting -- one is too many -- but the active shooter drills are a bit excessive. You'd be better off teaching all children how to swim well at a young age. Overall, I liked the authors hot take. The only thing I disagree with him/her on is whether a real estate crash (commercial or otherwise) would be a bad thing. I think inflating bubbles endlessly and saddling future generations with a lower standard of living is the actual (big picture) bad thing.
