I dunno, that sounds like socialism.

Good thing we were saved from the horrors of broadly accessible and efficient mass transit decades ago.

Sounds like that would make it impossible to maintain a consistent sleep schedule, which is also helpful.

Not concerned about porch pirates at all

Not everyone has been blessed with the same gift of blissful ignorance that you have.

I agree that people shouldn’t order Ring, it’s a shitty product for the reasons laid out in this thread and article. But “just be nicer to everyone around you” is not a viable alternative, and suggesting it is dismissive of the realities other people are living.

If you’re still talking about getting shit stolen off your porch, anyone within driving distance could be responsible for it.

Do you really think it’s possible to try to become friends with or “help out” every asshole within a 10 minute drive of where you live? Or even identify everyone in that range who might have sticky fingers?

Also, it ultimately doesn’t matter at this point. The methods and actions required to stop the runaway train are the same regardless of who is behind the wheel.
