Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image

Much of the world relies on general well-behavedness. The whole Andon principle doesn’t work if you’ve got asshole employees. With the public you don’t have a choice. You have to stop the trains because otherwise everyone will murder you if it turned out to be true. So better to be defensive.

When the west devolves into a low trust society because of things like this and the relentless importing of people from such, it will lose the advantage of being a high trust society. Equality for all!

I'd consider places with no school shootings higher trust than those with 300 school shootings every year :)

I think we can reliably say that the global West's current lack of trust is nothing other than home-grown.

Sure, go for the cheap shot (heh) at the Americans - but the news article is from the UK.
