I’m sick of tired of these people robbing people
@tobeyqry address fascism and capitalism first. Crime wouldn’t be an issue if people could feed themselves in an intentionally declining economy. Worst national debt in our country’s history and it’s no wonder why.
Im really surprised of all the racism, amazing to see so many people hiding behind their apps. Never in a million years would say it to their face.
