I am so incredibly disappointed in the world right now. With everything going on with the coronavirus right now, the world is a scary place. Not only is the virus scary, the way people are acting is even scarier. You would think people would come together and be kind and help each other, but it’s been the exact opposite! People are acting like animals. People that don’t have kids are stockpiling diapers, formula, etc. just to resell for 4x the price. That’s sickening.
I saw an article online about a guy that went through 3 DIFFERENT STATES with a U-Haul and bought all the hand sanitizer so he could resell it for between $8 and $80 per bottle on Amazon! Luckily karma hit him hard because Amazon is cracking down on price gouging and they banned him from listing it. So now he’s stuck with a garage full of hand sanitizer with nowhere to sell it. The funny part is that he’s actually upset and is saying that it’s “not fair” and is going to “hurt his finances”. No, asshole. It’s not fair that you took all the hand sanitizer and didn’t allow anyone else to get any. There are elderly people and immuno-compromised people that really need items like that and can’t get it because of selfish people like him. It’s so sad.
People are literally fighting over Clorox wipes and toilet paper! I saw on the news that a man was stabbed over toilet paper! When did people become so evil?! I was in Walgreens yesterday just getting normal items that we needed for the week and I heard a woman in the next aisle on the phone. She was telling whoever she was talking to that they just restocked the Clorox wipes and asked if that person needed any. All of the sudden I saw half the store go RUNNING to that aisle and almost mauling her for some Clorox wipes. I felt so bad for her. I saw a video online of an elderly woman with one package of toilet paper. Some lady with literally 10 packages of toilet paper in her cart comes up to the elderly woman and tries to rip the toilet paper out of her hand! Luckily another customer saw and got her toilet paper back and was able to get her safely away from the crazy lady. I couldn’t believe it. That’s how we’re treating our elders now?! It disgusts me.
Because of people going crazy and buying everything, people like me that were just trying to shop for the week can’t get what we need. I couldn’t even find a gallon of milk yesterday. People have kids they need to feed. They have families to protect. The main point of this post is just to remind people to be kind. Of course get the items that your family needs but don’t go overboard. Think of others as well. Help people that need it. We need to come together right now as a country instead of having the “every man for himself” way of thinking.
Be safe, disinfect, try to stay inside if you can, and above everything else, WASH AND SANITIZE YOUR HANDS! I cannot stress that enough. If you’re religious, pray. We will get through this. Be kind!
