Something in our society is really, deeply broken.

I start every class with an ultrasound picture of my son due in October, pleading with my students to wear masks as a personal favor to my family. In small, at-capacity classrooms, only 5 of 45 of my students wore a mask. I’ll never be able to look at this job the same way.

They aren't going to care about the teacher's unborn child.

to care about this guy and his family. They're self-absorbed, which is normal to an extent.

It's created an entire world of uncaring sociopaths who are being assholes for the sole purpose because it gets them more likes than the next guy. Social media is just turning people into assholes and it's scary what is happening. Now it's influencing kids too.

You can find another job, maybe not the same pay - BUT YOU WILL LIVE and that has more value to your family than a check.

Not even personally responsible either.

It is a break down in our society.
