    In 2021, the QT gas stations around my city literally cut down every tree on the property so the transients wouldn’t have shade.

    I don’t know why I felt the need to mention this.

      Because this is the vibe in the US. Only non-solutions are allowed. Don’t get down or you will be kicked. No get up, only kick.
