I came across *the* example I have been hammering with these food delivery robots.
A man with a mobility aid is forced to step aside because there is not room for him because the robot will not make room for a person (esp. those with a mobility aid who need addditional room)

i find all the debate over "the death of sneakers" or whatever tiresome—it's rather simple, nike leveraged its "golden era" of the mid '80s to early 2000s to sell the same silhouettes again and again to the same people at the expense of the present/future and that golden goose is finally dead

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

It's been getting worse because cops have been on nationwide wildcat strike since their feelings got hurt in spring 2020. It's been a dialing up of people gradually pushing the boundaries of recklessness and realizing there's literally nothing they can do that will result in cops pulling them over.

Very noticeable.
Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

You really could not have a clearer illustration of the choices between community resources vs state surveillance, and so far, as usual, the choice is state surveillance.

Worth comparing this with CPD Supt Snelling two days after Brighton Park shooting, + testimony of CPD brass (including Chief of Dets) at budget hearing.
Worth noting, also: no PD has power all its own. Every chief/supt reports up to someone else. Every agency has, allegedly, legislative oversight.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
