    I have a friend who works in the restaurant / bar industry in New York City and the pandemic has seemed to make him way more chuddy. I don't even know what to say to him at this point because so many people are unemployed and eveyone is freaking out and scrambling.

      Yeah it's pretty grim all around unfortunately. Hard to have faith that we can deal with any big problems in the face of our utter failure at containing covid.

    If a problem can be solved at a profit, capitalism will solve it. If a problem can't be solved profitably, capitalism will let it fester. If a problem can be kinda sorta solved at a profit, you get this.

    Love to have food in an enclosed space where an airborne virus that it’s supposed to protect us from can easily spread

      Love to preserve the aerosolized coughs of the people who ate before me so I can get infected without even meeting them
