“We’re extravagant and want to whimsically destroy resources “?
“We have no respect for history”?
“We wouldn’t know how to run a business if our lives depended on it”?
“We have no idea how any of this works”?
They are sending a message that tells every criminal that they are unarmed sheep who are waiting to be slaughtered.
