    Yep. Same thing that got me. I was fascinated reading it like “This lady is fuckin crazy” but that last line got me laughing so hard… I’m a Canadian. Hell, I’m a Newfie. We had people staying in our house who were from the US because a ton of planes landed here in NFLD and a ton of us went to help. Not even I have a reaction that unhinged.

      I lived half a continent away when it happened, and the whole office just stopped working for half a day to watch the news. That kind of response across the continent alone probably cost the economy billions. The next day I was arguing with people on the internet that we had a new war on drugs (no achievable goal, no territory, no clearly defined enemy) about to start.
