talking to a friend got me thinking about the people who told me I deserved to get COVID in October of '21 because I was working outside the house.

just, like.

the utter lack of understanding and general sanctimoniousness and shaming surrounding the fact that my job couldn't be done remotely.

I think that's largely improved, but we ran across it in the wild today, so who knows

@titania@retro.pizza wait what wtf

@pagrus people are ridiculous sometimes. I've also heard it about not utilizing grocery delivery (it's through Instacart here, no thanks) and what was then essential travel.

@titania @pagrus i dont think anyone deserves to get covid but i kind of understand the logic of saying that about eg. someone who is refusing to mask. Like, okay, they are making society more dangerous for everyone so i can see why you’d want them to feel the costs of that risk. But using instacart is just…offloading your own personal risk onto a poor person?? How the hell is that the morally superior position???

@Satsuma supposedly because it's one person instead of many, you're reducing community risk, but no one likes it when I point out who does Instacart as a "shopper" @pagrus

@titania @pagrus yeah considering how instacart works i dont think that’s actually reducing community risk at all, especially not in 2024 so it’s just 100% an inequity vector
