What is next? The thought police?
Jerk face neighbors, and stupid jackbooted laws.
Pure Stasi - neighbors informing on neighbors over something that is irrelevant.
People accept losses of freedom in return for an opportunity to rat out their neighbors. Something very wrong here.
So much for moving to Canada.
Like everything government does today, this is about revenue. Being gratuitously nasty is a side benefit. As an aside, not only are the police and government alienating people, they are damaging their ability to govern. The fallout from their actions may tear civil society apart. There gave been two cases that I know of where the citizens disbanded their oppressive police. Both speed trap towns; one in Florida, the other in Texas.
Forgive me for saying so, but grandchildren are as necessary to grandparents as food and medical care, maybe even more so.
We were scheduled to see ours in April before the China Flu scuppered the trip. We rescheduled for November and now are trying to reschedule for a THIRD time. Meanwhile, we've had a new arrival who we have only been able to meet by video chat.
