The Virus Day 24, Dimondale, Michigan

The storm is here.

All well, mostly. Today we pick up our Kroger order. I hope it goes well. Other family is telling us that Kroger is still pretty reliable. The workers are now allowed to take tips. I’m glad they are but this is not going to go well unless these people are paid the absolute top dollar possible. There is nothing to curb the potential corruption of these front line people in this crisis. What what you do? You make barely minimum wage and you are supposed to feed your family when things are getting scarce? What is stopping these front line people from taking not just tips but full-on bribes? Its probably already happening. Some clerk is going to take that extra $100 to make sure some asshole gets more TP than anyone else. Next, it will be meat, medicine, and gas. No safety net means Mad Max is coming soon. I see no good reason to sugarcoat the worst parts of human nature in the middle of an escalating crisis. If you’re ordering food today, get enough for a month at a time. We sure as fuck can’t trust the feds now. It's up to the survival of the fittest states now. When that fails, welcome to the return of walled cities and hopefully benevolent Lords and Ladies again. Or, another storm may be coming. One that descends on DC and ends this bullshit once and for all for. The People may not get the government they want, but they always get the government they deserve. We The People of America deserve every minute of this shitstorm now. This is what happens when “lesser evils” keep winning over better men and women. This is what happens when The People keep kicking social justice down the road when the time to act is ALWAYS now and without compromise.
