"return clothes and get your nails done" is the new "let them eat cake"

[muriel_volestrangler]

Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt suggested Thursday morning that the U.S. should reopen its economy, despite the growing spread of COVID-19, so that her friends can get their hair and nails done.

“Every day, we’re talking about different topics, because we’re moving in hopefully the direction of getting where China is now, or South Korea is now, and just getting some improvement,” Earhardt said, adding that she lives in New York City, but doesn’t want to return there because it is an epicenter for the virus.

“If you bought clothing before all this happened, if you want to return it, are stores gonna waive that 30-day period where you can get your money back?” Airhardt wondered. “This not a priority, but women have to get their hair done. I saw someone tweet out, you’re going to see what color our real hair is, because our roots are going to grow in. All my friends are saying — this is not a priority, people are dying, and I realize that — that they can’t get their nails done.”

I did not think someone could be more clueless about problems and priorities than Trump. But this woman really has managed it.

4. Obviously some people use too much hydrogen peroxide still. I doubt businesses will take back ...

personal items any longer, such as clothing, etc., being possibly contaminated. I noticed that Home Depot will no longer hire after I think sometime this week, being that they're are concerned w/ contaminating their existing employees at Home Depot (and the workers are worried too, when a new hire comes in, they have no idea if truly healthy).

This is literally a game changer, being that if businesses don't hire, hiring will plummet. Perhaps rump has thought of this too, being that the Genius he is?

5. Yet another piece of evidence to suggest that life will not anywhere near back to normal

without incredibly widespread and extensive testing all across this country.

6. Yeah, really. And think of all of the restaurants and bars, in the state of MO, you have to have...

a certificate of a Hepatitis vaccination before you can work there, and I suspect that this is going to the same for Covad 19 too being so contagious.

9. My boss furloughed an employee for going to get her nails done on Tuesday

She wanted to get a manicure before the state shut all the salons and nail places down.



Thank gawd she was yapping about her nails on Facebook or else we wouldn’t have known she had gone (...until she would have showed up at work the next day like Typhoid Mary, showing off her new glitter nails).
And thank gawd my boss immediately called her on it and shut that shit down. She could have exposed us all, and our small crew has worked so diligently to stay as safe as possible.

10. Another Faux Snooze spokesbabe

I wonder if they deliberately hire them so clueless, or they give on the job training for it.

11. Many people just aren't getting it yet

This pandemic has made me question everything about what's important and what isn't. There are so many ways this situation could go much farther south than lots of people can imagine, and with the basic stuff that people take for granted. If we're very lucky, there'll be no interruptions to any of that, other than the current shortages we all know about.

If things get really bad, having raggedy nails is gonna be the least of her worries.
