Babble 1

I feel very lonely today.

Not in the sense that there are no people around, but I’m that way that feels like a mass extinction.

Like, “in a rescue ship looking around at the desolation but also kind of bored with it all” lonely.

There’s been so much desolation and destruction for so long that the very bleakness of it all has lost all meaning. A hopeless kind of lonely. One of those passing sadnesses that everyone has sometimes.

The world feels in turmoil. Everything seems scary af.

I’m scared of the diseases being allowed to run rampant through the world right now. “What the fuck is even going on???”-levels.

You people all said you’d know what to do in case of an emergency. You all said you had supplies for everyone. People gave you money to buy supplies.

All these food shortages are because people didn’t really purchase and correctly store the basic supplies for their people.

The pandemics are showing a history of gross negligence.

Where did the money go? Where did the supplies they’d already gathered go? What the fukk are rich people doing with their money???

Your company should be able to provide supplies to their own workers. Why else are you taking “insurance” money out every month?

In a time of crisis, people should be able to receive basic supplies from the company. It would be more beneficial for worker happiness if they received monthly “gifts” from the company (loaves of bread, blocks of cheese, fresh produce, watermelons, turkeys, single-serving and family-sized ready meals, gift cards). It shows an acknowledgment of all that metadata they’ve gathered.

For reals: If you don’t know whether someone has food allergies, ask.

And for goodness’ sake, tell people what ingredients are in your products. They don’t even force you to be all that precise! (Though you should be, come on.)

I believe in the USDA. I want competent and hard-working health inspectors on the job. People that are REALLY making sure the people that make and package our food are cleaning their equipment and using licensed food-safe kitchens.

There are some things we might wish less oversight for, but not food safety.

For reals yo: The food you eat should be your last concern.

You should be able to open a food package and know that it is safe for ingestion or use in recipes.

Like, I don’t want to grow botfly larvae in my body. I don’t want to see any wriggly worms or about a million other things. No thank you. Hard pass.

I want experts to make sure I’m not going to poison my family using questionable ingredients. There needs to be some form of oversight
