'2 days later I told them again'. 'Good god they listened finally'.

Should’ve “told them” much earlier

US military shoots down suspected Chinese balloon off the Carolina coastEyes were locked on the skies Saturday as a suspected Chinese spy balloon slowly drifted toward the U.S. Atlantic Coast and remained in clear view over the Carolinas — where local authorities warned civilians against taking potshots at the floating orb — before it was shot down when it drifted over the Atlantic Ocean.
