You are probably right about that.
The vision of America which that kind of law was intended to support, is almost gone.
Now our dear illiberal “liberals” want America to be a no-man’s-land.
That can’t even keep up liberality, which I wish our dear illiberal “liberals” would begin to understand before too late. The store can voluntarily give out a lot of stuff, but as soon as it is overrun by thieves, it won’t be able to turn a profit from which it can give anything else out. It will be plundered bare. It will cease to operate. Venezuela is finding this out the hard way.
