My first long research trip in nearly three years revealed some subtle hints of a breakdown in the social order. Most conspicuous was increased speed and recklessness on major highways — especially on the East Coast, but to some degree even in the Midwest, where caution and courtesy were once universal.
Driving 10 or 15 miles over the speed limit appears to be the minimum necessary to keep cars off one’s bumper. Eighty is a common speed on the interstates, and every few minutes someone flies by a good deal faster than that. Yet only twice in 2,900 miles did I see what looked like a speeding citation in progress.
And yet people are still getting sick and dying of Covid. Imagine how many would have died had our government (and the world’s) not put mandates in place! Maybe your next “research” trip should be to look up The Flu of 1918 (never call it the Spanish Flu…first recorded case started in Kansas!) or Typhoid! You would think Tharp spoke would have learned but evidently only SOME learned…and obviously they weren’t Trump followers!
