There should be a warning label on any establishment or product that requires a smartphone to use.

There is no market solution to capitalism. Something, something, tools of the master.

When I was young, you wouldn’t know if someone had guns unless you went hunting or something. It was kinda taboo to inquire.

This ethic probably originated from the fact that guns have always been a target for thieves. Nowadays, gun bros post their weapons on Facebook so you can see their custom paint job and accessories.
