One set of attitudes I encounter put me in mind of a passage from Robert Scheer's book With Enough Shovels, which is actually about the threat of nuclear war. Thomas K. Jones, Reagan's Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Development told Scheer that the U.S. could survive a nuclear war and quickly recover if enough people dug air raid holes, threw a couple of doors and three feet of dirt on top and hunkered down. A nice fantasy, but as nonsensical as thinking we can hunker down, wait for better times and everything will be as it was in the library profession.Bob Farwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127205680117000696noreply@blogger.com
