Somehow abiding by rules where you are respectful to your fellow humans is somehow being positioned as a crime to humanity, nice try, LOL
We shop at Trade Joes, Safeway, QFC, have been doing take out almost every other day, if there was more interesting options we would. We feel fortunate that my sons and all are not effected and continue to have to work our long hours from my house. Wife has never been busier cooking and bring order out in. But don't agree with the the idea that we all should all go about and pretend nothing is happening and spend as much and travel as much, that is a irresponsible global statement designed to divide people, sad actually.
I am disappointed we didn't make our annual spring skiing trip to Utah/Whistler or our planned European cruise etc. etc., simply not the right thing to do in this current situation.
BTW why do you think Amazon gets all the mone soley? OMG they get the product for free, just like Costco, got it, Amazon isn't w/o faults but to position them as no more predatory a business than any airline or other business is disingenuous
