    Ah yes. As an “essential worker” it was nice that for about 3.5 minutes it was acknowledged that all of us “unskilled” workers were required for society to function and then get nothing for it except more work and exposure to to a deadly disease.

      Don’t forget the “Heroes work here” banners! Those were nice

        “we spent a ton of money on these meaningless banners, posters and out of touch ad campaigns to get people to buy from us.”

        “Sorry, times are tough, we have to lay off a bunch of you, and we can’t afford to give anyone raises. But, to show we are all in this together, I have volunteered my 3rd spare car for a charity raffle. All of you will buy tickets, starting at the low cost of a banana. That’s right only fifty dollars, all proceeds will be donated to the children in need in my house. So please think of the children during these trying time for your chance to win a nft signed photo of my 3rd spare car, and remember it’s for the needy children.”
