Please Stop Giving Discounts to Super Spreaders
"Now is a great time to travel!" countless ads from airlines, hotels, and other travel companies breathlessly advise me from my inbox every morning.
"No it's fucking NOT!" I hiss in reply at my computer screen. Now is NOT a great time to travel. The risk of infection is an elevated danger not just for the traveler but also for all the prudent people they inflict their traveling ways upon. Everyone who plays it safe and smart and only goes out for essential trips is placed at higher risk by each of these super-spreaders gadding through.
"Especially with today's sale of 30%//50%/70% off!" continue the ads.
"Would you PLEASE stop offering discounts to super-spreaders! " I seethe. Sheesh, it's bad enough some people have chosen to bury their heads in the sand against the reality of this pandemic and cannot think outside the envelope of their own gratification anyway. We don't need profit-seekers encouraging antisocial irresponsibility with sales. [This entry was cross-posted from https://canyonwalker.dreamwidth.org/6853.html.
