Guess who got called up to help with a supply mission in response to the pandemic? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Grateful that classes are moving online. It will make these 2 weeks easier.

crazy how the venn diagram of people saying we should just let the virus kill a bunch off a bunch of us to save the economy, and the people who are so worried about "death panels" in a nationalized healthcare system, is a fuckin circle

@valadez_micaela I hope that other customers are calling these crazy people out. I have worked retail almost my entire adult life and will fall out bad customers in a heartbeat. Cashiers and grocery store workers are keep our society together at this point.

@khowaga One of his replies was that this will ruin things for a whole generation of workers...umm like the 2008 recession that I graduated into and screwed over my generation because our government deregulated banks and let them do as they please? Right.
