Hitting was bigger, but notice nobody has their head down up against the wall or in the corner. They protected themselves rather than trusting the refs to do so.
In Estonia, you can still get an old fashioned Motorola stick phone without a camera or GPS. They remember the Soviets over there.
I think the trend away from carrying a tracking device will only fade after we've deposed and imprisoned trump, eliminated the republican party, and put all the MAGA assholes in prison or a grave. Millions of them.
I certainly hope the trend of making it harder for the authorities to know everything about you continues.
My pops worked on the LORAN station on Attu island in the Aleutian chain for a year. He was coast guard. They honestly promised him a woman behind every tree. (There were no trees).
He did get really good at beating the comedian Gallagher at ping pong.
I'm a huge fan of King's early stuff and had read the 800p "The Stand" half a dozen times before the 1200p version was released. I didn't notice anything in the long form that added to the story. I say his editors were right to cut it the first time.
This is an unpopular opinion, but I really think you can skip 400 pages without losing anything.
Fuck that, I do not concede the point. At least, I don't concede that humans are /more/ selfish than we are compassionate. Our emotional wiring evolved for hundred-human tribes that required a lot more empathy and cooperation than competition.
You don't have to go so far as to disincentivize greed. Greed is socially useful in small doses. Adam Smith wasn't a total idiot. Just stop letting the people who shape society make it so only the greedheads survive.
