> I went to an AutoZone and asked to borrow the battery tester You're describing small town living. California is very urbanized with a lot of movement between big cities and small towns in a total population over 40 million, so there's more interactions with strangers and less trust. I totally get why rural Idahoans and Kansans don't like California. I get sick of it myself sometimes and have to take road trips to rural America. This sometimes feels like time traveling since the future is not evenly distributed.
