Many Americans over quarantine were forced to come up with new hobbies and things to do that could be done either at home, or spread out away from people. I have seen an increase in people hiking and taking walks for fun in result.

Over the years, Mother's Day has transformed from being specifically for mothers from their children, to being meant for grandparents, wives, etc. One popular idea for same-sex couples is to have one parent celebrated on "Mother's" day and the other celebrated on "Father's" day.

The sign reminds me of the spent game and how the entire point is to show the staggering amount of struggle a person or family can live on the poverty line, even with making minimum wage. Many people left or got let go by their restaurant and other minimum wage jobs for favoring the covid relief funds. They found out they made more money than they would've made at their jobs. I don't blame them, from personal experience, restaurant jobs, especially fast-food places are extremely stressful and toxic environments to work at filled with stigmas, until these companies change, not many people are willing to work for them anymore.

This clinic offers pregnant women advice on their pregnancies and options about family planning, but in reality is not an actual pro-choice clinic and will use sinister tactics like shaming women and forcing them to take ultrasounds in order for them to opt out of an abortion.

The Red Sox are very popular in the North-East of the US, (along with other teams like the Bruins or the Patriots), so much so that we see people wearing merchandise or bumper stickers, or even license plates relating to the teams and players.

There is a general distrust of police by a majority of Americans, shown through much evidence of brutality, corruption, and unjust violence and persecution. Over the last few years, more and more videos and photos are surfacing of cops abusing their power to murder civilians, (especially black Americans), escalate situations, (multiple cases where police decided to fire on mentally unwell people, specifically those in danger of harming themselves or having a breakdown), and using corruption for their own personal views, (police personally escorting rioters INTO the Capitol).

Before weed was legalized in Massachusetts, there were a lot of dealers in Greenfield selling it. The opening of the dispensary either caused many to sell harder drugs to people, or were selected to work here because of their prior knowledge. It is still a controversial spot in Greenfield, but it is a safer place for people to buy their products.

Starting in 2013, there have been many movements for racial equality in the US, most notably for ending police brutality and prison reforms specifically for black Americans who are targeted the most for these attacks. Recently we have seen a bit of justice in the way of some police taking accountability for their actions, and actually getting repercussions. There is still a lot in the way of equality, so it is important as Americans to recognize these social problems deeply rooted in our country and solve them.

Taking off your mask in public was looked down upon over the past year due to the spread of the virus, specifically in Massachusetts with the strict laws. Restaurants have recently opened up seating both outdoors and indoors, but many still opt out of this until the Pandemic is officially over.

Many businesses do not survive more than 5 years, specifically in a run-down town such as Greenfield. Since the recession in 2008, Main Street has been empty of people and many businesses have come and go. Greenfield, like many poorer small towns, do not have very many consumers that appreciate niche stores, like the downtown areas in Brattleboro and Northampton.

Working in a fast food place right out of high school changed me as a person. I worked with many different people, (single mothers, teenagers, fast food veterans, convicts, etc), and as a result learned how to interact and get along with different types of people, which was also my first experience in working with older adults, but having more authority over them instead of the opposite.

During the pandemic, a large portion of workers in non-essential factories were forced to have their hours cut and sign up for unemployment. Even though workers for major corporations were suffering, Many CEOS and people with board decisions made the same amount. (Jeff Bezos actually made several billions more over the pandemic than he would have if it never happened).

Many Americans believe that the ideal vacation would be to Disney World/Land, making it a sort-of rite of passage for middle-class families to go at least once. American culture as a whole is excessive, greedy, and capitalistic, making it ironic to go to a place funded by the Disney Corporation.
