Tre...I can utterly believe that...absolutely. Wonder what loneliness does to people? In the old days you'd have Ham radio....CQ CQ this is WB4IPW....(_._. __._ _.. . __ _... ...._ .. .__. .__). and people would talk...civilly. Now there's the internet and people make stupid to create a conversation.
I lived in Italy for 5+ years...if something happened the Italians would be in the street talking about it in a nanosecond...My French wife told me in about 2011 or so while I was in Afghanistan, an ice storm hit McLean and power was knocked out for 10 day...it took about 9 days before the inhabitants of the houses (that the Arabs call the tomb of the living) emerged to stand in the street and start to talk. Americans are pretty solitary..internet has not improved the conversation.
