is LA really a city or is LA just a very large county w 100 different neighborhoods pressed together? are we citizens in any coherent or communal way or just people who sit next to each other in traffic? or is the problem that both the city and state are one-party operations and have been for quite awhile (and will be for the foreseeable future) so there's no credible opposition to fight the covid permanent emergency? there just seems to be a very odd and heavy apathy here, maybe because so many of us are from elsewhere, and politics is just a choice bw 31 flavors of NPR.

there's nothing ive seen so far that leads me to believe that just about everyone won't passively go along with just about anything. we are a lazy hazy people here, and hey, what's another shot or 2 as long as we have weed and wifi?

is sad because under all those masks is a lot of expensive plastic surgery.

There are even more levels of grift. The test itself is essentially a coin flip. I saw a panicked, symptomatic family of five. I told them “We don’t need the test, you probably have covid”. They insisted. . . . results -> 3 positive, 2 negative. The problem . . . They didn’t want to all ride back home in the same car, because the “negative” ones didn’t want to “catch it”. I reiterated, “YOU ALL HAVE COVID, and it’s going to be okay”. Their solution, the “negatives” took an Uber. Just a small slice of life in fear pornlandia.
