Today is International Worker's Day, probably more important than ever to commemorate, because of how many people have lost their job because of the crisis and the future is unclear. But what are many media focused on instead... some stupid Disney movie day in three days ! From Christmas, to Valentine' Day and All Saint's day, and now this, everything gets ruined by some dumb commercialized event. But movies being more important than workers rights is a new low.

Of course this is just the tip of the flag on the tip of the iceberg and it is silly to even talk about it, but it just keeps pilling up.

Oh boy.... This can get ugly, if people do not constrain them self.
With that premise in mind, I feel this talk should be left out of Vogons.

Sorry to say it like this. On Vogons I am kind of neutral.

If it makes you feel any better, I've had to work over 300 OT hours so far since the pandemic began.

The stupid is real and it's an increasingly serious problem. Thankfully I've not lost my job and am able to work from home through the wonders of technology.

Sympathies with those who have I hear things are pretty bad over in the USA. Times like these show us how broken and inept society and our systems have become(some by design).

Disney is serious business. Don't disrespect the mouse.

Is this too much voodoo?

So let's stay calm and "don't panic".
