I’ve heard a lot of arguments in favour of starting at 1 and as a “start at 0” person, I’m starting to question my beliefs and am as confused as I was at 3 am when I saw my cat piss from inside her litter box onto the parquet flooring and then slip on it.
Assuming the statements are correct, maybe it’s because people feel less safe. Fewer people go outside which results in fewer crimes being committed.
