Is it take hide the pain?

Go to a Anti Doge or Tesla Rally..I've gone so you don't have to. The average age at a Doge--Tesla protest is like 60 to 85 years old and gray hair and shorts..moo moos and flip flops, the geezers were late sixties and early seventies acid dropping pot heads whose weekends in Berkeley and Claremont California were filled with getting high and looking to get laid.

Today their mostly retired school teachers state and government employees and many fake Vietnam Veterans. No real productive humans can be found.

While they dwelled in cubicles for 30 years they had to lay off the pot and hashish and booze until they retired.
Now after retirement bordom sets in
and so their stoned and go to protests because their to cheap to pay for entertainment unless it's free.
