Sometimes, you have tough decisions to make.
For many during this pandemic, it's either to work and risk being infected or stay home and go broke. True, many on unemployment are getting paid way more by sitting on their asses, some simply want this world to start moving once again.
And these people want to start moving too soon.
Today in Lansing, thousands of protesters lined up in front of Michigan's state capitol, claiming that Governor Gretchen Whitmer is causing small businesses to close for good. The protesters were mainly angry old white men similar to the hilljacks on South Park who yell "DEY TOOK OOR JERBS!" The protest was labeled "Operation Gridlock" and even though the organizers told the protesters to stay in their vehicles, some got out and some didn't practice social distancing.
Sadly, these jerkoffs don't know how to read, and even though parts of it are vague, Whitmer's executive order says everything in stone. What I mean is that these retards are pissed that Meijer and Walmart can stay open to sell clothes while family-owned stores are not essential enough. Well, guess what? NOT ALL PLACES THAT SELL FOOD HERE IN MICHIGAN ARE BIG BUSINESSES! Hell, there's a plethora of family-owned grocery and convenience stores here in our great state. Some of them have prices comparable - and even lower - than the chain stores, especially if they're supplied by SpartanNash (Our Family), retailer-owned Associated Wholesale Grocers (Best Choice) and other wholesalers (and I think both distribute IGA brands all across the state, too).
The reality is that the protesters and others simply don't want the government to tell them when they can shop, where they can work and that they can't just simply go to their mother's house for dinner. Once again, these assholes don't want the gub'ment what they can or can't do to their bodies. Weird, since many of them sadly are also so-called pro-choice, judging by the pro-Drumpf banners some of them were carrying. The truth is that they helped to bring COVID-19 to 'Mur'ca because their less-than-supreme leader disassembled Obama's medical task force and lied to us, telling us that the people who had COVID-19 in the beginning would be OK in a few days. Over 640,000 cases and 28,000 deaths later in America alone, it's safe to say that the assholes who were waving their "don't tread on me" flags all need to know what it feels like to have COVID-19.
Look at South Dakota. Over 400 people who all work at a Smithfield processing plant are now stricken with COVID-19. Even worse, the state's Rethug governor, Kristi Noem refuses to issue a stay-at-home order similar to Whitmer's and other governors. She claims that an order wouldn't have prevented a situation similar to Smithfield's simply because they're an essential business since they process meats.
And guess who just happens to own Smithfield? A CHINESE COMPANY! Hey, they started this bullshit with the wet market that served up bats (which has reportedly reopened) and now, they run the factory where many get their pork from. Yeah, I think I'll be personally boycotting Smithfield for a long, long time. Same with their sister brands Cook's, Eckrich and John Morell.
The reality is that COVID-19 is serious. I don't want to hear shit like "oh, ______ kills ____ per day and it's not banned". True, there's people out there who have never smoked and got lung cancer from second-hand smoke. Some have never had a drop of alcohol in their lives and they get killed by a drunk driver. But when it comes to COVID-19, tag, and you're it.
I know, Michigan has 27,000 COVID-19 cases and nearly 1,800 have died from it. That's a lot more people than any of the towns in Antrim County, where I'm originally from. This is why staying home whenever possible is very crucial. Just because you can't go to the bar or the mall doesn't mean that it's the end of the world. Just because you can't hang out with your friends in person doesn't mean that you can't Facetime them, either. I know, I didn't vote for Gretchen. I'm a progressive and she's too friendly towards big companies. As a matter of fact, I voted for Jennifer Kurland, the Green Party candidate in 2018. Even though I didn't vote for her as governor, better her over pRick Snyder, the asshole who left Flint with one of the worst environmental disasters in American history. With his pro-business stance, I would imagine that Michigan would have a much-worse situation with COVID-19 if he was allowed a third term as governor.
People, once the curve is flattened and once a cure for COVID-19 is materialized, then yes, we need to move on. But now isn't the time. The only thing I wish for these loonies who protested Whitmer and other who are against social distancing is for them to get COVID-19 themselves. And guess what? SOME HAVE!
So for now, chill. Because if you can't, please feel the consequences. And when you do, stay the hell away from me.
