This is so fukn sad and ridiculous. It ain't even safe to drive anymore because you're taking chances.... they doing too much and they are getting away with too much!.... I stay in the house as it is don't go anywhere except to the doctors via Lyft but hell it's gonna get to the point that I'mma be scared to ride in a car, I stopped taking the bus four years ago. I don't ride the bus for nothing.
