My girlfriend took her life at the end of December, I hear things like this from people all the time. I guess I'm handling it well? To be honest with though it's all in appearances, in my head I'm constantly at war.

Sadly this state has become overpopulated and it's only going to get worse, worse traffic equals worse drivers. More people on drugs and drunk driving than ever because of the economy. I don't even bother driving anymore, literally just forced my work to let me go remote because I got in a terrible accident because of a driver on their phone in 287. 3 months later still recovering, waiting for surgery in March and yeah my priority now is to save up as much as I can to move out of here. I can't stand it, this isn't the new jersey I grew up in anymore.

Well we have an authoritarian running again in the next presidential election and this time I believe he will go all in, he's old and has nothing to lose. They already have their uniforms and salutes for him. Even people making a decent living are living paycheck to paycheck, I don't know a single person who isn't now. 4 years ago it wasn't this bad, I didn't have to see so many crying faces it was mostly smiles and laughs back then. Things got dark and cold very fast, it's only a matter of time before things get deadly.

If you have a majority of drivers smoking weed which wouldn't surprise me then you will have a lot of weed smoke to enter the car. A lot more people smoking weed now than ever since it's legal.
