Bad Machinery by John Allison for September 27, 2023

Jack is more contagious than Typhoid Mary, and since mod has a very low mortality rate it’s not likely to die out any time soon.

Next: Rockers

Considering this ends in a war of a sort too, I suppose the analogy isn’t all that bad of one.

But Jack doesn’t ride a scooter. Sonny was the one who aspired to own a scooter.

The reason? Herd mentality.

The Archduke was a representative of a repressive imperial government that refused to listen to the various ethnic groups of the empire. Some people in those ethnic groups decided to take matters into their own hands and through a series of mishaps by both the Archduke and assassins he, and his wife, were shot to death. And the world has been recovering from the fallout of those events for the last 104 years or so.

It’s one of the top 3 reasons for everything.

I guess I missed the eighties Mods. I remember the sixties Mods, but I wasn’t old enough to participate.

“My earpods told me to do it.”

Hard to believe Jack was Patient Zero.
