Seeing a lot of “But they don’t deserve…” And no, of course they don’t. What the fuck does that have to do with anything? The house is on fire. Pass a bucket to whoever wants to put it out. You can remind them what an ass they’ve been later.

Yup. And they are already driving into our communities to work. We've got their cars, we should welcome the rest of them too.

I've worked retail and I've worked food service. It gave me a deep appreciation for how hard those jobs can be and it's an important perspective I think more people could use.

It especially bothers me how dismissive some folks are of those workers' right to be part of our community.

I will never stop saying it: the postal service doesn't LOSE money it COSTS money, and once upon a time we agreed that everyone should have equal access to postal services so it was broadly non-controversial.
