It’s Common Sense: Why Does Violet Affleck’s Maskless Photo Get More Outrage Than Our Potholes?
Here we go again, another day, another celebrity meltdown on the internet. I just scrolled past a viral photo of Violet Affleck walking down the street without a mask in a park, and the comments are on fire. We’ve got people screaming about public health and personal responsibility. You know what I see? A teenager living her life. When did we lose all common sense? I’m not saying the pandemic is over, but for the love of all things local, can we focus on something that actually matters to us? Our town’s streets are full of craters that could swallow a minivan, the school board is fighting over books, and nobody says a word. But a celebrity kid’s face? Oh, that’s a crisis. Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I thought the phrase “mind your own business” was common sense. Let’s get our priorities straight before we all fall into a pothole.
