In any other aspect of life, why do we bitch?

If humans agree to speed limits why is it we still bitch when we get pulled over, and given a ticket?

I will side with social distancing for the same reason I side with speed limits. Nothing is perfect in life, but trying is better than no rules.

No one’s bitching in this thread. No one here is saying that social distancing is a bad idea. It’s a discussion of why it’s called ‘social distancing’ as opposed to some other term.
