It's so widespread (and annoying). To top it all off we're getting calls for political donations here in the US. It kind of feels like that scene in The Matrix when Neo has to fend off a thousand Agent

It's crazy how prevalent it's getting here in the US.

The warmth and sunshine will be wonderful! I miss traveling so much, I hope to resume soon. Bon voyage!
