Excellent insight!
Especially your observation about playing the “COVID CARD”.
It’s being used in the same way as the “RACE CARD” isn’t it?
Of course the race card has been so overused and abused that it has become a laughable joke and no longer has any legitimacy or impact with reasonable, thinking people.
Well, I have to admit that I’ve thought of using the covid pass myself lol.
A couple of months ago I ordered a pizza to pick up and bring home on the way back from the farm. I am nervous when walking on very much snow and ice (petrified of falling), so I was going to ask the pizza place if I could put it on my charge card over the phone, then if someone would pop it outside and slip it in my back seat when I pulled up......because covid and all lol.
Well, they didn’t take cards over the phone and I’d have to go in with my card. I cancelled the pizza because it wasn’t worth slipping on ice for, but I thought if I said “covid”, it would open the door for me lol. Wrong.
