"My faith is greater than my fears"

They legit think we are being boomers when we ask them where they keep the cups or if there is a dressing room…because they don’t realize that expertise used to be pretty common, even in the most front line casual retail interactions.
That’s how bad it is.

A few months ago there was a TikTok trend of Gen z employees sincerely confused that older customers would ask them product questions. Someone explained that employees used to know things. Then we had to tell them about Radio Shack.
I realized they truly had no idea that things used to…work.

I encountered so many societal and economic failures today that I’m tapping out.
No school buses (that one again)
A “sextortion” lesson for a bunch of 11 year olds
Flight cancellation an hour before it’s scheduled
No other flights
Two hour call wait times (even with stupid “status”)

Smalls, the only Black flotilla member, appears to be the only one who has been treated this way
Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.
Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.
