Amazon Has the Right Priorities

The other day, a guy on Facebook was bitching up a storm because he'd paid for an Amazon Prime membership, and he wasn't getting his damn book in two days.

*facepalm*

Talk about tone deaf. There's a fucking pandemic sweeping the planet, dude!

People need food, medicines, diapers, and soap. Amazon and a lot of other retailers that are still running are fulfilling necessity orders first.

And you know something? I'm okay with that. It took two weeks for my specialty color retaining shampoo and conditioner to get here. Those weren't an emergency, just a helpful tool to make my Midnight Amethyst color last longer.

It took a week for a drawing comics book to get here. Again, it's okay. It's a skill I'm working on in the age of corona. But it's definitely not an emergency.

An emergency is when you can't find formula anywhere for your infant. An emergency is when you can't feed peanut butter to your allergy-plagued toddler. An emergency is when your grandmother needs her insulin and grandpa his high blood pressure meds.

So, to all the folks working in warehouses, in shipping and delivering necessary items, in restocking shelves with food, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.
