-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Did this kind of behavior become more common after 2020, or is it just getting more coverage than it use to? I feel like I hear way more stories about psychotic boomers threatening food service workers.
May be anecdotal but I swear people have gotten more selfish over the past decade. It used to be you'd see someone swerving through traffic at 100mph once or twice a year and now I see it at least once a week. I think COVID really helped accelerate it too (see panic buying all groceries).
Of course, this is all synthesis of the US rugged individualism, nuclear family, manifest destiny propaganda that's constantly shoveled down Americans throats.
Retail has always been like this. The US doesn’t promote any other outlet, maybe except vague virtue signaling for therapy while not actually providing any financial assistance for it or allowing a work culture that allows it.
So retail is one of the few places in which you get to see face to face the person who “wronged” you and violence and verbal abuse are as American as apple pie.
Boomers are becoming older and losing what little faculties they once possessed
