Patrons are abandoning their cars in the drive thru to slip inside the back door and physically accost the food service employees. Pizza delivery drivers are being robbed, and food delivery drivers are carrying guns to defend themselves against hangry customers. Why are we losing our moral fiber?

Robodebt was a new debt-creation system that was used to illegally pursue close to half a million Australian welfare recipients for fake debts generated by the thousands.
