At the very beginning of COVID, I actually noticed people being nicer to
others.  Like the folks who drove by a house up the street to wave and wish a
kid Happy Birthday, or the teachers who paraded through neighborhoods to
wish their students a happy summer break.  It was all done with distancing
but was really nice.

There was other stuff like that in other places that was on the news that
gave you a sense that we were treating others well.

Then came Summer and people in some areas went nuts.

>Our society is pretty much a prison.

For those same areas that went nuts, it probably is.

I think Gen X is starting to notice that too.
