>People are absolutely hopeless until their own personal life is fucked
Had this realization when I was in San Diego for work. As I passed literal human shit on the sidewalk in several places, walking under an overpass to see an abandoned homeless encampment (broad daylight - no way I'd do that after dark), I went to get some stogies from a local shop. Everyone was super nice and polite, which my "very conservative" (very "team R" anyway) coworker remarked on. I was like "That's because they're dumb. They'll be nice and polite like this right up to the point that it consumes them, at which case they'll think 'How could this have happened?'"

Probably a lot of them were high too. Same end.
