something like the lowest kind of Chinese buffet would taste like ambrosia to me at this point.

Same, who am I kidding, I'll definitely go out at a buffet that is basically a money laundering operation.

I’m standing in a Jack-In-The-Box with a makeshift barrier of tables between the ordering area and the order terminal, mask over my face, had to open up the door with my keys and as I’m listening to a podcast about gaming out the possibility of the president seizing dictatorial power, it hits me that our society as a thing isn’t doing too hot at the moment.

At this point everyone has given up and there is absolutely no political will to attempt to contain the virus. Surprised anyone bothers to report numbers anymore tbh.

I think we all guessed back in march that this would very quickly devolve into arbitrary and irresponsible reopenings and then harsh lockdowns a few weeks later on repeat but it's still always just shocking to see how chaotic and stupid it all is

any amount of foresight at all—literally ANY—would allow a thinking person to see that this seesaw of closing and then opening and then closing... etc. is only going to cause more business turmoil and worker disenfranchisement than any single, concerted lockdown would even if it had been from March until now.

I know, I know, for some at the top the suffering is the point, but I know there are some brain dead morons in the middle staring down the proverbial barrel of this chaos gun and just rapidly working the trigger over and over, getting shot in the face and just absolutely flabbergasted that things keeping going poorly.

*phew* glad I got that confusion out so I have more room to crack and ping in the ol’ ringer, time to redeem all these Chili’s gift cards I have. bring on the winter.

How are you just now realizing this? lol

it hasn't been doing hot since.. i dunno, 1999. Dotcom fall with 9/11 leading to the biggest execuitive powergrab and fascism-footwork that the country has ever seen with jingoistic hoo-rah non-sense, GFC setting precedence of gving billionaires more money and protecting the money of the billionaires/hedge funds/etc and making every person squashed further under the boot. Most minority communities lost 70% of their wealth entirely and it hasn't recovered. "Gig economy" propped up unemployment by giving another lower option on the totem pole but that was never sustainable and isn't real work or living work. We're jjust ripping off the bandaid
