It's all demographics. I ride a motorcycle and I can spot who is playing on their phone from way off; the slight swerving, randomly and unnecessary tapping the brakes to maintain speed, unable to regulate follow distance, in stop & go traffic, traffic starts and they don't. When I pass and look in at them they often still don't see me.
I see all of you.

No they wouldn't. That logic has not stopped one single, shitty remake and almost all of them have been worse than the originals. So bad we forget they even exist. Robocop, Mummy, Red Dawn, Total Recall come to mind... garbage. I think Road House, Twister, and Mr & Mrs Smith are getting remakes this year, and they don't look good either.

Landlords are already leaving housing empty rather than lower rents. Perhaps heavy handed regulations are needed because unfettered capitalism isn't offering any solutions.

Again, that's an outlier and an anecdote.

A gun store near me, here in southern California, has a picture of Reagan on the wall. Standing under that picture I listened to an employee explain to a man in a wheel chair that the recoil from a Desert Eagle would push him backwards across the room.

Ugh, nobody talk to me, just sell me my bullets.

Ethanol? You mean corn? Grain alcohol has been a thing for centuries.
