You have to be, like, 25% famous to get tested (For scale, that’s four and a half Michael Bloombergs)

“The pandemic is having a devastating impact on the economy – restaurants alone could lose $225 Billion in the next three months. For scale, that’s four and a half Michael Bloombergs.” —Samantha Bee

“The economic impact of coronavirus has created a Catch-22: if you do have a job, you could be forced to work in dangerous conditions. For example, last week Amazon discovered a coronavirus case in one of its New York warehouses, and while they’re being generous enough to offer a whole extra $2 an hour for working during a plague, they offered paid time off only if workers tested positive. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but those tests are kind of hard to come by right now. You have to be, like, 25% famous to get tested. It’s the new getting verified on Twitter.” —Samantha Bee

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
