Elite Panic

• paulpauper 3y ago
  "Elite panic" is a term coined by Rutgers University researchers Caron Chess and Lee Clarke to describe the behavior of members of the elite during disaster events,[1] typically characterized by a fear of civil disorder and the shifting of focus away from disaster relief towards implementing measures of "command and control".[2] Isn't this what would be expected for a sufficiently serious disaster? This is not a new development, like the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which led to the US involvement in ww2 and Japanese internment.
