If your country had a major crisis…would you want your government to Overreact or Under-react?

[OddBeMe]

Perfect bullseye is virtually impossible for humans. So either our govts will over or under react to crises. Which would you prefer?

Overreact

Under-react

Not sure

[msmissydc]

I want them to get opinions from experts of that field and react in a way to prevent what they would say is the worst case. This would lead to overeaction most of the time but would also prevent the worst things and probably even smaller problems.

[OddBeMe]

That is a logical and very important aspect of all government I hope. Experts aren't listened to as much I fear…

This is a full on depends.


If we’re being invaded, by outside forces, then overreact.
If it’s an inside job by fascists, overreact.
If it’s against my people, then underwhelm me.

[OddBeMe]

First time a girl has asked to underwhelm her…

I feel like if my country had thunderstorms, power cuts, food shortages and then proceeded to act like nothing happened like "eeeh we'll be finee" i'd be very funny.

The less that government does the better.

Whenever government does anything it makes the situation worse, by design in my opinion.

[lightbulb27]

I'd over react if it looks severe. Covid was an example of it, I support their strong reaction to mitigate it. I didn't support going as far as Biden went.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah its like we need our elected officials to do too much jnc, then course correct.

[lightbulb27]

yep, ditto if it's likely a nuke is gonna hit near my house, or major storm with flooding. I don't want to be standing on my roof in a flood begging to be evacuated and it takes 2 weeks...

[OddBeMe]

If its a nuke that won't be an issue.

More help than needed in times of need is better than minor to no help. Just ask Puerto Rico….

[OddBeMe]

And NO during the hurricane.

Nothing more dangerous than a Government "overreacting", far better off with no Government reacting at all, and letting people voluntarily help each other. You know what we humans did for nearly all of the last 100,000+ years.

[Stoner710]

Government sucks at everything it does, it would be better for local communities to act and help rather then government,

[Lyndsielee666]

I mean them doing SOMETHING about the wildfires would be cool

[dustybiker]

My area has already continued to purchase and rent more air support. Also refilling stations/tanks on top of the mountains for the helicopter drops.

What else would you suggest?

[Lyndsielee666]

@dustybiker I almost lost my house and a friend of mine just died in the fire by me. Not sure what they can do here but god damn 🤦🏻‍♀️

[dustybiker]

My family has had a number of close calls through the years too. Including surrounded by three in 70 mph winds. So I hear you.

My country Pakistan is already in big crisis due to heavy raining for continuously two months and then now floods almost destroyed 65-70% of the country especially rural areas are under water now. Government is doing unsatisfactory measures

[mrkdvsn]

Crisis and emergencies need to be handled at the lowest levels possible

[AngryCarl]

I'd prefer them to show a degree of competence. I can dream can't I?

[exitseven]

Under react.

[OddBeMe]

Rather less funding to crisis areas?

[Anonymous]

under react
