A call to do the right thing. . .

I hear so very many Boomers and early Gen X-er's bashing millenials as irresponsible.

I'm so fucking tired of it. Especially when I hear stories from my daughter about her friends - who are grocery store and fast food workers - taking money they can't afford to try to get tested  -- and being turned away b/c they "aren't old enough". These kids are trying to be  responsible citizens and workers in our society. They are  TRYING to take the actions necessary to ensure the public health safety and they are being stopped cold. This is further enraging when one sees reports of celebrities and politicians getting tested.

Okay, time to pony up Boomer & Gen X politicians: You want these kids to "just stay home"? Then just pass emergency legislation to ensure they get paid and have jobs to go back to. Promise those whose companies don't survive this administrative and political cluster-fuck of mismanagment income, insurance and retraining. Put your gods-thrice-damned money where your filthy hearts should be and provide for the populous.

What the actual fuck dudes?
