The quote reads: "When Beijing appeared on the other side of the East River, you turned off your phone.

Opinion | The Jet Set has a survival plan. What about the rest of us? We need a new civil defense, tailored to the unprecedented threats we face today.

I am in awe of this story. How it made me so uncomfortable, and so seen at the same time. How it doesn't offer any easy answers and yet still feels so complete. So, so good.
