Musing For Today
Authority can be quite militant.
Any kind of authority---police, employers, landlords, parents, teachers, store managers.
For example, apartment complexes whose management tags on an extra $15 "late fee" for rent payment more than 10 days late. Or even initiating eviction proceedings against those two weeks or more behind on their current rent.
To say nothing about the underhanded tactics of credit card companies.
Or of ATM fees. Or utility companies and THEIR penalty fees for late payment of bills.
It's paradoxical that a lot of otherwise legitimate businesses and agencies often behave a lot like loan sharks, extortionists, and just all-around gangsters.
