In my neighborhood, somebody will put a piece of furniture (bookcase, table, office chair) in their front yard by the road with a "free to take" sign on it. People still knock on the front door every time and ask "is it really free? I can just take it? I won't get in trouble?"
I'm part of a co-op here in north central Florida: Sumter Electric Cooperative, SECO. They are excellent! And they let it be known on a regular basis they they are beholden only to their customers, as well as employees and shareholders, all who have to be customers of SECO.
I remember the comments were open on all the videos on the White House channel for the first few days of Biden. It was literally thousands upon thousands of negative comments, with maybe a few dozen liberals giving positive comments. It was glorious to see!
Live long and prosper, pede.
