What are they going to do if people start dying? Can you imagine your elderly mother on a fixed income living in a unit, and the fat cat Village Aesthetic Nazis (from their taxcow-funded air-conditioned chambers) set the cops on her for trying to survive a killer heat wave?

No more understanding their position, no more benefit of the doubt, no more compromise, no more seeing their side of it, no more giving up another goddamned thing without a fight, no more obeying laws I know are wrong, no more submission to authority unless I deem it appropriate.
