We have a community about 15 miles west of St. Louis called "Barathaven" that is almost 100% Indian. 7-10k people. Mastercard has a big office here where they work. For the most part, the higher level execs are courteous and accommodating. The lower-level call center employees are absolute trash. Nobody that isn't Indian drives through it because it's an almost guarantee that their car will get damaged.

If we really see the forest for the trees... This is a worldwide agenda... To.. create a helplessness around the socio economic politics.. to even out the playing field of... Everyone.. & the lack of judicial reform.. to ensure Chaos.. & the eventual Militarized police officers... & The acceptance of law and...Dis. order..... . This really ruins it for the people who appreciate the opportunity for Canadian citizens who really do wish to be legitimate taxpayers & actually work....
... Just another example of how the government is utterly COMPLICIT in denigrating the Judicial SYSTEM... ...
.... This is not a Party Partisanship issue... . It is the.. weakening of our system as a whole...
... As we have seen... The demographics of crime... Is an extreme issue... Not to be taken lightly.... This is beyond sad... It is sheer Apathy.. of the Canadian government to... Protect against outside influences....
Perhaps we might consider that....
... Some people don't have a creed of .. Civil obedience...
Our laws must change... & Radically... As .. some are just given to the thoughts of... Scamming the system... & Trying to get away with.. whatever they can... We need actual... Teeth in our Judicial SYSTEM.. 😮...
