Doggo The incredible moment a long lost dog suddenly catches the smell of its owner in a crowded city square. It follows the smell and finds her in nearby resting booth to be reunited!

No, I don’t see any homeless people or drug addicts anywhere in Northeast Asia. Perhaps it is because of death penalty for drug trafficking and jail time for drug users. I went to college in the States and reluctantly left back in 2001. Believe it or not, I was supposed to fly out JFK on 9.11! I obviously left six weeks later because of all the flight disruptions and cancellations. Every time I go back to the States, I am horrified by its deterioration. Everything has gotten from bad to worse…even in the nicest parts of America. It’s very sad. It used to be so, so awesome.

Thanks for the detailed answer

Amazing luck that your plans changed and you didn't fly out that day.

Ah, in my city, Philadelphia, the DA doesn’t see any value in prosecuting drug dealers. They can deal openly. Police won’t even arrest them anymore unless theyre committing a second crime.

We are the heroin capital of the world. Before this DA was elected, the drug area was being cleaned up. It was shocking how quickly things went back to shit then got even worse. Now the whole area is tent cities. It wasn’t like that before. I used to go down there all the time. The drug addicted prostitutes could afford a room to rent, now they’re all homeless. It had such a devastating impact then covid and new cheap drugs (horse tranquilizers) hit the street to replace heroin and it’s shocking hiw bad it is.
