I am amazed at how many times per day my phone buzzes with an "amber alert - child abduction."

I chose not to disable the notification because I wanted to see how much these things are happening in my town... A LOT is how much.

Now, time to look up again how to disable this thing, cuz I forgot. But seriously, what the fuck? How can society be this messed up? Don't answer, I know... Its just crazy.

it is the grimmest economic indicator there is
