Because:

1. The government is incompetent and corrupt

2. The government abuses its power a majority of the time and this abuse increases with increase in bureaucracy

3. The bureaucracy craves power like a drug addict craves heroin and there is no POWER in saying YES or allowing freedom

Government is a necessary evil in post hunter gatherer civilizations but should be kept to a minimum but unfortunately we have a group of elites that have NEVER produced or created anything and get and stay rich on manipulating the masses into allowing them to generate millions of rules and regulations the majority of which are useless and redundant and in many cases have negative unintended consequences. Whats worse is that once these douche bags get voted out the join the lobby class and continue the scam. That is why we have generations of elites that have never worked a real job in their life or produced anything of real value laughing at the deplorables while hanging out with the Epsteins of this world.
One could easily point the finger at the stupid lemmings who blindly vote them into office.

That depends on 1) what you texted, and 2) how your jurisdiction qualifies Solicitation.
I have never understood the need, desire, or gross stupidity of sending texts or e-mails that discuss any of that.

It does amaze me how oblivious or careless people can be. And then they complain when their stupidity gets them in trouble.

You are right.

Stupidity predates technology. Technology just makes it more obvious. :ROFLMAO:
I'll take the contrary view here: technology makes stupidity less obvious. Back in the old days, we actually had to talk to the people around us: the good, the bad and the ugly. And even those we disagreed. That is no longer true. Thanks to technology, we can pick and choose communities of people we want to talk to, regardless of location. Often those are like minded people who share our views. In those kinds of echo chambers, stupidity gets repeated and amplified. It also makes it easier to choose exactly where we get our news from (to suit our bias). So all this technology helps create group-think and reduces critical thinking. And stupidity within a like minded group is much harder for the group members to recognize or call out. If someone dares say something unpopular, they get disliked or cyber-bullied.

Of course, the above observation does not apply to THIS group. ;)

There's been some excellent thoughts and observations in this thread. Anyone in the civvie world would have to agree that the lightbulb does occasionally work in the world of mongers.

You know, no matter how many times I've tried that, I've never gotten the light to turn on.
I guess it doesn't work for all bald guys...

On the flip side, conversations are lost to history unless recorded, but technology stores everything. Which makes any instance of your stupidity permanent.

If they had cams during the raid I was at, it would have shown me getting my wallet back from police emptied out.

The Monger Demographic is pro police, so it's difficult for them to believe this happens.

Oh, I absolutely believe it happens.
A girl I used to know had $8K stolen by the cops during a raid.

But when it comes to choosing between the cops and the Crips, the Bloods, MS-13, or the Antifa and BLM freaks, of course I will choose the cops.
