@grumpybozo@justyourluck People just don't want to accept that the world is different today. There wasn't even an interstate highway (I90) to Seattle until 1987
Trade is different, farming is different. The goods you buy are not from your local community anymore. People are constantly traveling across the country. Pathogens and food contamination is no longer localized. We're feeding stuff to our cows that are increasing their risk of illness (broiler litter -- chicken shit)
