Ordered @DoorDash because I am tired, kids are (kind of) doing school remotely, and it was a hard day (this is relative). I walked out with a mask on to grab the food. A mom, a dad, a baby and toddler brought my food. It's almost 7pm. #Thread
On the one hand, I am glad for people that we have a new economy available where people can make money through an app to deliver food and other good to people who need said food and other goods. On the other hand, as I watch the middle class shrink and
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer history tells us this doesn't go well. Also, as a mom whose greatest gift is her two kids (now teenagers)...I look at those babies in the back of a car who maybe should be in bed, warm and cozy and off to sleep
Are instead driving around delivering food so that mom and dad can feed them and pay rent/mortgage...and like I said before...grateful we have these new emerging economies and also devastated because we are not going in the right direction. At all.
People. Everyone who never voted. Everyone who never paid attention to who your city council rep is. Who doesn't know how a bill becomes a law. I know, it's work. I know, it can seem boring or worse, your vote doesn't count. I beg you. Please.
Your vote counts. Your voice needs to be heard. We are moving in a terrible-devastating direction. It doesn't get better from here if we do nothing. It gets worse. So much worse. Please know your vote-your voice-counts. I will die on this hill.
I have been called "PollyAnna" and maybe I am. But we can do better than this. But everybody has to care. Everybody has to pay attention. I'm going to eat with my kids now. But I sit down to eat and I don't feel okay. #EndThread
