I do not mean bona fide crimes. I mean mistakes.
For example, where I live, if you went to work for the wrong employer and then you do not stay there and dare to seek employment elsewhere, that is considered a mistake; a two-fold mistake. First error in judgment might have been to choose that particular company to work for, and then 2nd error was leaving them.
In other words, in my area, loyalty seems to be valued more than any other human attribute, kind of the way Vladimir Putin is rumored to value loyalty more than any other quality. That’s why leaving certain companies is VERBOTEN! It’s sort of worse than getting a divorce.
In my area, free speech is not encouraged. Example: the previous mayor of the adjacent big city would not allow comments to public officials on his website. There was no “Contact us” tab at all, and no message submission form.
I’m serious. It was like he was a king unwilling to listen to complaints.
The new mayor’s admin. has reverted to normal and now allows public comments. How innovative, right? (I'm being sarcastic. If you’re elected and do not allow public comment, then you’re a thug, IMO.)
Anyway, you probably all live in SANER places than I do. I once moved out of state, searching for saner places. I did find them. They were not paradise, still being run by plenty of mysogynists, but at least they had not completely killed free speech yet. They were trying to though!
I’ve long thought the Great Recession was basically the wealthy punishing the middle class and poor for our lack of knowledge of how macroeconomics work. It was a giant sheering of the clueless sheep.
