I see this a lot and GM definitely deserves a large share of the blame but we also need to look at ourselves, our culture, and the way we decided to evolve our cities.

Redlining, white flight, car-centric suburbs, HOAs, wide streets, 2-car garages, Hollywood movies like Rebel Without a Cause. The list of factors goes on and on and on.

A lot of people like to blame boomers for all our ills but I think the trend started earlier with people who were teenagers at the end of WW2. They were too young to fight in the war but they were old enough to get sucked into this brand new marketing and cultural phenomenon known as the teenager.

Don’t get sucked in by Steam sales. You’re not saving money by buying games you’re never going to play!

I’m really hoping they have a gigantic pencil sharpener somewhere!

FOPS isn’t going to help if one of those violent criminals tomahawk-throws a framing hammer at your head!

Wait, why are vegans against picking flowers? Broccoli is a flower! It needs to be picked before eating!
