The saddest thing about this parody is it’s not. It’s meant to be. But, it isn’t. It is all too real in far too many American homes today.

My thoughts exactly. For satire to be funny and effective it must contain an element of truth. Unfortunately, there's a lot more than an element here.

You are so right.

Check out this ACTUAL headline from yesterday CNN:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/11/health/coronavirus-school-closing-lunches-kids-eat/index.html

”The coronavirus pandemic is closing schools. How will kids eat?”
