My dad is one of 200k+ people that died of COVID-19. He was super healthy, didn't have any pre-existing conditions, & didn't even have gray hair. He still DIED after a 3 week battle with COVID-19. Please register to vote and VOTE for people that believe in SCIENCE. He wasn't a nobody. He was my dad, an important and integral person to my sisters, my mother, me and entire extended family. Those 200k+ people that lost their lives were someone, they mattered to someone. Their lives had value & didn't deserve to die from such a horrible virus.

Remember: if you qualify for free tax filing, do not let @turbotax trick you into paying for their deluxe package. This has already happen to someone I know. I'm sure they aren't going to refund this person. You can also use other services instead of TurboTax. #turbotax #fraud Here is an article explaining how @turbotax tricked many people for paying for something that should have been free to them. propublica.org/article/turbot…

@washingtongas decided that it would cut my gas because they got my address wrong & thought I had not paid my bill. Spent 1hr on the phone to fix this. They told me I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get gas reinstated. Wish they had to pay for meals that I have to miss. Imagine this happening to people that are vulnerable and/or cannot afford to buy their meals or get heat while waiting for @washingtongas to fix their mess.
