I have come to believe that COVID made people realize that no one cares about anyone else, and with that knowledge they either: decided that meant they also didn't have to care about anyone else or decided that meant they had to be the care for others they wanted in the world. Join us in group 2
But really, people did get a lot meaner and irrational post 2020, right?

To say a bit what people’s lives are like: both of my kids’ schools have chats that are connected to the parents and neighbors patrolling school grounds observing for ICE. Every a.m. other parents monitor them in case we need to quickly go to the school to help prevent a child from being kidnapped.

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
