it finally happened. b*nnings updated their policies on badges on aprons in may so you can’t wear anything political as it “looks like the company is taking a stance” but this is only being enforced on my palestine badges because i was verbally abused by a man last week about them.

No government can ever feasibly choose to ignore climate change or pandemics. You can't stop physics or biology by pretending that they don't exist. The only real choice governments make is how badly they and their people will suffer.
