1 Answer

Answer :

People don’t say hi or look you in the eye when out in the street. Air conditioning, the internet and cable TV keep people in doors and sitting on their ass. Moms now work to pay for two cars and mortgages they can’t afford and God is a contested concept. Huge difference and I want my old life back!!.
