?️ We're good neighbors!
 
A bar chart that shows the share of Americans likely to help neighbors based on a survey of 36,908 adults from July 2023 to March 2024. Seventy-six percent would bring in mail or water plants, 72% would conserve utilities if asked, 67% would bring a meal, and 50% would loan money in emergencies.
Reproduced from Pew Research

Ignore the hand-wringing. Americans routinely step up for their neighbors and sacrifice for their communities, Axios' Erica Pandey reported in May from Pew data.

  • 76% of U.S. adults say they're very or extremely likely to bring in neighbors' mail or water plants. 67% would bring a meal to a sick neighbor.
  • Even with declining trust in institutions, 72% say they'd conserve water or electricity if public officials asked.

Between the lines: The camaraderie transcends politics. Just 28% of the surveyed adults say all or most of their neighbors share their political views.

"Loan money to a friend in an emergency"

American / Canadians / Australians are generous people.  This is not common around the world. Many people in Asia would loan money to a relative, often with strings attached, but not to friends. In 20 years, I have never seen that. 

Many of our churches in Asia are built with funds from those three countries.
