    During a typhoon (DK):<\/p>\n

    During the super typhoon #Yagi<\/a> in #Vietnam<\/a>, many car drivers drove very slowly to shield motorbikes and people from the strong wind (because the strong wind trapped them on the road or on the bridge, they could be blown away if they tried to move). Wanted to hug everyone tightly. pic.twitter.com\/rW8ZfYCank<\/a><\/p>\n

    I was pleasantly surprised to hear the other day how many people helped women\/persons with baby carriages up stairs; my faith in humanity was somewhat restored. Has anybody ever seen similar behavior in the US? Of course, we don\u2019t have typhoons, but tornadoes and hurricanes; it might not be possible to give the same sort of help. <\/p>\n

    My email address is down by the plant; please send examples of there (\u201cHelpers\u201d in the subject line). In our increasingly desperate and fragile neoliberal society, everyday normal<\/em> incidents and stories of \u201cthe communism of everyday life\u201d are what I am looking for (and not, say, the Red Cross in Hawaii, or even the UNWRA in Gaza). \u2013><\/p>\n
