Something hit his ear for sure

Almost like that's a 2d picture and you can't tell how far away that bullet is in 3d space. Coincidences do happen.

So, not hitting his head.

He had a small cut probably from shrapnel. Cuts on the head bleed a lot.

I can tell you, they're not very good waffles. It was a funny interaction ordering it though.

So, I'm other words, nothing I can do as a single citizen. Even as a collective, without buy in from someone with power there isn't much we can do.

What specifically can I do as a citizen?

Every job requires some level of contacts. The idea of a meritocracy is a farse. That said, I wouldn't have that specific trade would be a job that is in high demand anyway. This is something that the US just doesn't do well as we've leaned on China way too hard for factory work. That's my completely ignorant viewpoint though since I don't actually work in that field.

Yeah, that's why layoffs come next. They get the cheap ones out of the way first.

If you want to modify the already flakey at times driver.

Yeah, we all see it and know it. We just can't do anything about it.
