It's ALWAYS been that way.

And if you're talking about WW2...that's just human nature to come together during an emergency. We did it 11 years ago on 9-11 too.

But leave those two things out...and it's ALWAYS been people trying to get ahead for themselves and their families. It's never been a big communistic country all holding hands and singing "kum ba yah" lol
When my father worked for a very very large international bank in the 70's. There was a large recession, to lay people off was considered a loss of face for the ceo. It was these are our employees we had a duty to them like they have a duty to us. All salaries were frozen and there wasnt much to do but they waited it out.
Now its human capital just dump them . They werent communists.
