Self-satisfied lady in the BC Ferries line who complained of “inefficiencies” and bragged “I’ve been all over the world; I know how things are” was profoundly unprepared for the level of Los Angeles blasé I brought to the unsolicited exchange.
if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.
