One would think so but we don’t have the facts. Is it more or less because of the weather or is it something else. Things just don’t add up. I can’t see it. We need to look into this. Something now right here, could be bad cops. Could be Voodoo Midget Aliens from Corporate America. Could be mind control from reading brain dead stuff on the Webb.

Wonder if weather was a factor in such a large increase.
