Wasn’t going to add to this thread until I saw that we share the same birthday. I’m 3 years junior to you and physically feel way better than I thought I ever would at this age. I also remember the days when a lot of people thought old age started at 30. Remember the saying “never trust anyone over 30.”? Even the “Gary 7” episode of Star Trek TOS made reference to that.
From what I have seen lately the “lunatics” are not confined to LA, New York, west coast, east coast, mid-west, south or wherever. Seems to be a complete American statewide problem. Those who think it isn’t are the real lunatics.
I would gladly tip during the height of the pandemic to help out with struggling businesses at the time. But now, not so much. It has really gotten ridiculous and seems to be a particular “American” problem.
So by your logic or thinking, if a person commits say 10 crimes, he or she should only be charged with 1 or 2 or it would be exaggeration?
