Supermarket Disposes $35K Of Food | Talking Points Memo

Amid struggles to keep up with orders and supplying the basics, a small family-owned grocery store chain in Pennsylvania has yet another reason to be overwhelmed: a customer purposely coughing all over its produce, meat and bakery sections.

The hatefulness has trickled down…

AND FYI GOP…
There is NO trickle down economy
Only stupidity and hatefulness!

Commenting these again…
Recall in the recent past…that there was a Coronavirus Party in KY to spread Covid-19, a NJ Knucklehead who was arrested for terroristic attack by spreading Covid-19 and White Supremacists were planing to use Covid-19 as bioweapons and targeting the police and Jews!

Stop drinking the KOOL-AID!

Addendum:

Here’s another group of Trumpers that can get us killed faster too…
The Christian Right ie the greedy president of Liberty University - Falwell - who opened up LU instead of asking students to stay at home or have online classes!

If I recall correctly, WNEP is in the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area. Notoriously red-state in a blue State. Nearby is an army depot I briefly worked in - repair facility for military equipment.

Nothing surprises me, coming from this area.

I guess I’ve been watching the Nordics so much, I didn’t realize that some states in the US still haven’t shut down. WTF, Murica?

Messing with food safety during a pandemic. Prosecutor is not going to take this lightly.

No monumental intellectual observations here.

What do COVID-19 and Mental Illness have in common? They SUCK. When combined, they blow chunks.

Although the woman isn’t known to have contracted the coronavirus, Fasula also mentioned in his post that police plan on testing her to be sure, and that the case has escalated to the District Attorney’s office.

Sounds like we need more tests here than just the one for coronavirus.

Also a functioning mental health system. That may take a bit longer.

Well strikes me that this is probably a good use for the death penalty. No doubt who the perp is. It is a terrorist threat. Terrorism can get you the death penalty. And is probably a good example of a case where deterrence would have a really quick impact.

Plus it cleans up some of the MAGA gene pool…

Try this story on instead. It’s so feel good, it’s a cliche.

“We’ll get through this,” said Chris Mittelstaedt, founder and chief executive officer of San Francisco-based Fruit Guys, while arranging for the latest pallet of donated bananas and apples to be dropped off at Project Open Hand in San Francisco on Wednesday.

The recipient of the free fruit is a 35-year-old foundation that provides 2,500 meals and 200 bags of groceries daily to seniors and critically ill people in the Bay Area. In coming days, because of what came in the Fruit Guys truck, those meals and baskets will not be short on fresh fruit.

“This kind of help is so wonderful and gratifying,” said Amor Santiago, Open Hand’s vice president for development. “Fresh fruit is such a wonderful component to our meals that we’re not always able to provide. We’re very grateful.”

I’d bet if they started a GoFundMe, they’d get that $35,000 back in about ten minutes. I’ll give them $25. All they’d need is around 1,400 people each giving them $25.
