Just Hanging Around

The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.

"From these made-up horrors, these fictionalized enemies, he had created a villain worthy of the violent bravado that he imagined he would display if confronted by said villain. This web of racist lies was what he needed to make himself seem like a man. He invented a story about bad guys who were out to get him, and he repeated it to himself and others until he believed it. Then he made up another story- of himself as hero, defending himself and his family against this violent threat- and he repeated that one until he believed it too.

This is actually illegal, a place of business cannot pick and choose what kind of cash they're going to take, but most places have for years and faced no consequences for it. $2 bills, $1 coins, and half dollars are usually turned away due to ignorance, which is a failure of the school system, but also yes, anyone at all does actually have the right to pay for their $20 purchase all in quarters and turning them away is indeed a violation of federal law
