I get why they did it, but I’m not bringing cops to my door as a gotcha.

This seems like a terrible idea. Even if you’re not committing any crime why would you want cops to pay attention to you?

I was a little bit disgusted by this truth.

Wasn’t Daniel Stern willing to stop robbing the house because there’s a kid? I trust the guy who does property damage over the one who’s dead set on terrorizing and torturing a kid.

It reminds me of that story where a robber steals a car, then when he notices there’s a kid in it he turns the car around to chastise the parent for leaving the kid inside. Don’t be a thief, but if you are don’t torture kids.

Dude caused a dip in US GDP

That seems implausible. Do you have a source for that? or is that just exaggeration?
