But your post comes off as arrogant and mean. People don’t know what to do, so they’re trying things. Maybe this one little thing, that you find so insignificant, leads to something larger. Maybe today is a seed.

We need more kindness in this world, and a lot less smug superiority.

A very large general strike that lasts more than one day will get attention. I like to think that today planted that seed. I didn’t buy anything today. For what it’s worth.
