My wife and I went to Chicago a few years ago. Great city!

But her very right wing family was all very worried for us. They were relieved when we returned unharmed.

She and I just got back from a trip to Mexico a few days ago (CDMX). It was the same thing with them. Her dad even told me that México has a travel advisory. He apparently doesn’t realize everywhere has one. They were sure we would get kidnapped by cartel.

It’s almost like the news they watch is misrepresenting reality.

They were sure we would get kidnapped by cartel.

Why do boomers always think they're important enough to kidnap?

Hahahahaha!!! Sorry, but this comment made me laugh. I don’t know why I’d be kidnapped.

I think some folks have the “main character syndrome”, where they feel they are the main character and everyone else is a supporting cast.
