there's always a back story to everything.
The people you associate yourself with can absolutely cause damage to your livlihood, directly or INdirectly. But few seem to understand that.
I think we get focused on making friends (or partners?) with others for the wrong reasons.
had an ex-gf that was trouble. As pretty as she was, I had to cut that short because she was nuts. Later on she was raped. It was her former roommate's boyfriend, crankhead. Tried to put blame on me, but that didn't fly. You hang around with trouble, you invite trouble into your life. Did she deserve it? NO!! Had friends in my past steal from me, try to rob me, been shot at (only hit once), jumped by people outside out friends' group, etc. You get the idea. Hopefully.
I understand and respect that everyone is different. I have dealt with people my entire adult life at my places of work. Most folks are good. There are a few who aren't.
Not getting too political here but there is a trend of defunding of the cops, and a push to remove firearms from the public. Ask yourself why. Each of us has a different outlook on that as I have mine.
