Kevin M. Kruse RetweetedSomething 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. Ill never be able to look at this job the same way.

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.

and share your insanity between one another.

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.
