It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Billionaires have set up this game where they have everything, while workers compete for the scraps.
But what if we stopped competing. What if we worked as a team and changed the game so everyone has what they need.

Picking up and dropping off the people you care about at the airport is a hassle—but it’s the ultimate act of service, wrote columnist Dawn Gilbertson in 2023.
“If I’m free, I’ll bring anyone to the airport, including my former husband.”
