whats the downside to this?

Well, back in the '80s when I traveled for the Company I walked the Beach in the morning, took the plane from LAX to Atlanta, then Myrtle Beach, and had Venice sand in my shoes while walking the Atlantic beach there before sundown. I'll bet that not many here on FR have done that. (Wonder if MB has gone downhill, too?)

Anything slightly related to politics in the United States is so completely insane that the/S symbol for ending sarcasm should always be used. Nothing can be taken for granted anymore. It is very sad.

I think the comments of the other poster were meant as sarcasm.

In the early 1980s, the Soviets produced a film, “Voici l’Amerique” that showed bizarre and disgusting aspects of American culture, and which was designed to convince the French audience that American was corrupt and irrecoverable.

I’m tempted to agree at times these days, but I fall back from it when I consider that these fools who allow rampant homelessness, election fraud, MSM lies, etc. are not America.

We will win, as difficult as it may seem, because America always rises above herself.

Last summer me and my granddaughter and a friend of hers was sitting on my boat on a beautiful day. They were leaving for Venice Beach. I said why? Because they had never been there. I told them it was crap now and to be very careful. When they came back they told me how disgusting it was. One f my neighbors is a cop in Santa Monica and had told me how bad it is now.
