It's most likely because this forum has a tendency to completely lose its mind over things that, when you step back and actually look at them, are statistically negligible.

We've seen it happen before. Remember the mass hysteria a few years back when a handful of food processing plants had fires, and suddenly half the forum was convinced the entire national food supply was on the brink of collapse? The narrative spun itself into doomsday-level panic, despite the reality being that the overall impact was minimal to nonexistent.

This place sometimes thrives on inflating rare or isolated incidents into existential crises, even when the numbers and basic common sense say otherwise.

This forum does tend to fall into the grumpy old doomer demographic I don’t see any reason to deny it lol
