ReplyDeleteI am thankful the rental car companies survived last year's COVID situation and are coming back. Hertz had tens of thousands of rental cars around metro Atlanta stored at Atlanta Motor Speedway's parking lots.
ReplyDeleteThat said, meth strikes again and this proves that contrary to popular ignorant opinion, it's not just a Southern epidemic.
The textbook cases of what are likely results of broken homes and neglected or abused (or both) childhoods. Pretty sad when you really think about it.
ReplyDeleteLots of productive citizens grew up in neglected or abusive homes, people know right from wrong.
