2. Poor man

I am so glad strangers are helping him. I do think it was just bad luck. Probably 7-8 times out of 10 you stop to help someone it would be fine. Of course Florida does have a bit of a reputation.

This was actually one of the hardest parts of a conflict I had battling these opaque systems.

I would hate to inadvertently lose it with someone who is being kind. But sadly by now unless it is someone I can see and evaluate, I am wary. And I am from this Podunk in India where people are generally nice in routine contexts, but it is the last place where I would trust any creepy smart city projects.

Online it is pretty much only DU because I trust Dave/MIRT to keep crazies out.
