Yeah, don’t go reading public comments on how and why restaurants are closing –
“This is all Lee’s fault!”
“The so-called ‘experts’ are lying!”
“Way more people in a year die from other things!”
Imagine being this fucking stupid.
Now think about the fact that those people drive and have kids and vote.
The people who believe this shit are directly and indirectly responsible for what’s happening because their behavior in public and at the ballot box is perpetuating these problems and will for decades to come.
Maybe if we had halfway competent leadership at the Federal level and a president who actually gave a shit, small businesses would be getting the help they need instead of places like the Catholic Church and Kanye and the Kushner family.
And the CDC just said dining at a restaurant is one of the worst things you can do.
This is devastating but it’s always about top down leadership and the state only has so much money and resources.
The Federal government exists to help its citizens and the states and administer funding and aid and no such thing has happened on any sort of scale that would make a significant difference.
But people are calling the CDC reports lies and the virus a hoax.
Go get injected with it then, you morons.
If IT IS A HOAX, then intentionally infect yourself with it to “own the libs.”
Ugh. Jesus Christ.
