Is this the way "it's" really supposed to work? Someone everyone "knows" says something and people immediately spring into action on the social media machine. Without considering anything about the situation. Just "it's the old way, we are new, this must be bad" please help us.

Pretty soon things like this will become so commonplace they will be ignored (by people or the people being contacted) the same way 10 tornados a day would fail to get the attention of anyone but those directly impacted.
