@KMOV The answer to this is not forcing the shop owner to adopt ever-increasing levels of security and asking the decent folks to come together and support the shop. The answer to this is to put the focus squarely on finding the thugs (which seems doable) and punishing them publicly.
@TheMiddleborne I just finished the book a few days ago, but this, from the article,..."a new take on Stevenson's novel"...is troubling. No one seems to want to make a faithful version of the classics anymore. I'm not hopeful.
@KMOV Instead of targeting reckless idiot drivers we spend millions building barriers and bike lanes that do nothing except make it more difficult for *everyone* to get where they're going. "Traffic calming" is a scam and we all know it.
I could hire some guys to clean the returns who move like they’re underwater, with cold dead eyes, and aren’t being paid enough to deal with this. I could probably hire them from this place.
I could make lots of reservations for cars I don’t actually have and tell my angry customers I understand their frustration and it should only be a few more minutes. I could probably keep that up for hours.
Okay, I'm not a news reporter or expert. I have no obvious editorial skills. But in the interest of the common good I'm going to offer my services to help you avoid the embarrassment of these constant errors that the J-school grad or AI bot keeps making. DM me your headlines first and I'll clean up the wording and do a basic spellcheck. You don't even have to pay me. You're welcome.
