You have a the right attitude. I sympathies with the plight of the minority of normal people in San Fran. I live in a heavily rat seat in Chicago.
But even if you gave a million dollars it would be like giving an aspirin to a man who’s has 50 bullets wounds in his chest.
No, it wouldn’t. It would be like standing with the doomed souls at the Alamo rather than slinking away like a rat in the dark to try and find a smaller band of Santa Anna’s boys to pick on. It is never a waste to stand up to tyranny and fascism, even if you know that you, individually and corporeally, will probably not survive the encounter.
