Want to ban those too?

My extended family canceled our gathering. My immediate family (already in a ā€œbubbleā€ of sorts together) is going to do an outside, distanced meal.

As an immigrant to the US I still fail to understand the point of thanksgiving. Seems like a silly holiday that kicks off 5 weeks where nothing in the country gets done..

Thanksgiving is essentially a fall harvest celebration. Harvest celebrations are found in cultures across the globe.

Has nothing to do with genocide or taking land from indigenous people.

Yes. Skipped Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot already. Never scheduled Thanksgiving to begin with.

Yes, I canceled plans. Itā€™s tough, Iā€™m not spending it with my kids because I donā€™t want to risk exposing them as I have been in contact with people who tested positive and will be quarantined.

For once in your living memory, if you're not able to have dinner together with your family and do your usual rituals, it's no big deal. Really! It's not!

Imagine if everyone took the ā€œevery person for themselvesā€ attitude even when it could mean death for someone else.

Also imagine being a higher risk or older person and reading your statement.

Itā€™s as if you have no ability to think of anyone but yourself, or perhaps itā€™s no desire.

As some one whoā€™s on the left political spectrum, there are some things I just donā€™t understand

1) What is genuinely wrong with universal, free healthcare provided by a government entity ?

2) Why is there opposition to taxing the super rich at 70%?

3) Is it not clear that electoral campaigns sponsored by corporations are problematic for a democratic society ?

4) Everyone says ā€œget an educationā€ but thatā€™s impossible with high costs. Why not make tuition free of charge ?
