The craziest thing that I saw happened about 3 years ago. I watched 2 Village maintenance workers in an open vehicle sitting in the 2 front seats and a machine in the back that sprayed out vaporized insect killer. Neither of these workers (probably illegal) had on ANY MASK, face shield, or other lung-protective device . Apparently, no supervisor cared about ANY OSHA regulations at all. Someday these 2 and others like them will be lined up awaiting health care treatments in hospitals at taxpayer expense. I thought of the US as a country and TV Land as being "pennywise and pound foolish".

Almost every day I see my neighbors lawn maintenance people smoking cigarettes and riding loud mowers and NEVER wearing any ear defenders or eye protection. And I again think of hospitals and taxpayers paying the bills. Do we in TV Land (where we are supposed to have intelligence) bear any responsibility for this "craziness"? Are we REALLY as sophisticated as we pretend to be?
