Important to incorporate quality improvements.
I car that was shitty 20 years ago, would by today's standards, be even shittier.

Summer 2020 I thought it was cool having troops in Boston, hanging out in hummer's with assault rifles swung over their shoulder. I did not feel afraid that they would open fire. Having national guard around more generally would be an interesting experiment.

Sympathy and empathy are not the same. I think if you have a graduate degree and work in the knowledge economy, its almost impossible to imagine being an undocumented Mexican who is excited for Trump to kick out the Nicaraguans with a firm belief that he will spare you.
