I’ve noticed in my area the past couple weeks. People don’t smile as much. More prone to anger. More jumpy and looking around. And just overall a more serious demeanor.

Local School for instance, after a couple years of parents begging out of the blue announced Security upgrades and that they were hiring Armed Security for each building. And that they explicitly mentioned Security would be equipped with Automatic Weapons and were ex-Military. That is on top of School Resource Officers already present at every school.

Where before the school mostly ignored parents security concerns and people generally had more the kind of concerns of a middle-upper middle class town. Teenagers concerned about celebrity and school gossip. Or this game or that game. Adults griping about prices and inflation. Road construction. Getting kids to various events. And trivial local issues.
