The future Liberals want

For my mental health I think I need a 5000 sqft house on the lake in a golf community with a Mastercraft on the boat lift....and for increased mental stability a Lambo in the garage.
How many of those opiate prescribing doctors will be changing areas of specialization.
And will Walgreen's be filling that prescription?
Since were talking crazy I'll take a 3 room offgrid cabin in the middle of no less than 50 acres of woods with solar panels.

Gonna be honest, seeing a "The Future Liberals Want" thread on here I was expecting something far more dire than "oh noes, the urinals" lol
 
The story coming out has been inconsistent. Most stories I've read said some of the kids were claiming machine malfunctions. Now I've seen a few mentions that they wouldn't refund the kid's game Tokens.

I grew up a few miles from there and went there tons of times as a kid. The "machine stole my money" is unacceptable and probably a bovine feces lie. My experience at Putt-Putt and a few other arcades is that there's always idiot kids (white & black) that think they can lie their way into free tokens with "the machine took my money, doesn't work....." . Believing kids that claim machine malfunction at arcades is a good way to go out of business. SOP is for an attendant to go to the machine and if it malfunctions then 1 credit is refunded. No malfunction no refund.

If it's a matter of refunding Tokens then Putt-Putt should have probably been willing to make an exception if they closed early due to over crowding circumstances. Generally they don't refund tokens because they're easy to forge and the Tokens don't expire. This doesn't excuse the kids behavior BTW. The kids who acted violent and destructively should be held accountable. I blame the kids for their actions but I don't blame them for being there.

I admit to a slight level of schadenfreude at Putt-Putt's expense if this actually escalated over non-refundable tokens. Putt-Putt could just have every machine operate with US currency, but that wouldn't ensure the kids come back.

What really doesn't add up to me is 300-400 kids randomly being dropped off simultaneously or during a narrow time frame. 25+ years ago when I was a teenager and would go there several times a month, the park was allot more prosperous and that never happened. A few busses pulling up with 300-400 kids? Yes, that could and occasionally did happen. 300-400 kids randomly being dropped off with no supervision? No, that never happened.

Over the years I've stopped by infrequently and every time I noticed a seeming incremental decline in activity. The last I stopped by was about 5years ago on a Saturday Night*, and there were 80-90ppl there at best. Putt-Putt has managed to stay open but it's best days are well behind it. 300-400 kids during the year of KunfFlu just doesn't add up.



*For some strange reason I couldn't hit 80-85mph in the batting cages anymore. Clearly their pitching machines were malfunctioning. I tried explaining to an attendant that they were probably miss calibrated at like 100mph, but they wouldn't give me a refund.
