Hey- assholes. Stop going to bars and
restaurants right now! WTF, we should all be so embarrassed, no, mortified that
our collective lack of empathy has resulted in a massive American death toll in
the past 5 months. We get upset thinking about meat factory workers being
forced to work in terrible conditions, creating concentrations of the virus
spread. Well, where is your line then, because dishwashers, servers, bartenders
aren't coming in to work right now because business is booming. They can't
quit, or they wouldn't be able to collect unemployment. When the owners, afraid
their restaurant will go under just like politicians with their economy, say
it's time to reopen, don't you think the mental struggle before agreeing to
work their shift would be excruciating for all of these workers that don't have
the luxury of performing their job from home? Of course I can't speak for every
single individual, but just consider the situation. Stats show the virus
affecting lower income and minority communities much worse. And yes, stats show
that outdoor seating is much safer than indoor, but groups of people laughing
and intermingling are still a pretty fucking good risk of inadvertently
spreading a deadly virus. But for some fucked up reason it is the server that
has to wear the mask. How have we gotten so callous of the
multiple-wars-amount-of-death in the blink of an eye? I wish the media had
shown more of those images of the freezer trucks parked outside of NYC
hospitals, and where those bodies went, and interviews from family members that
didn't get to say goodbye to the loved one that died alone in the hospital.
