I MIGHT CARE TO STARVE TO DEATH
Just went to the grocery store this morning, everything seemed normal including the old people with their masks on their chin.
WHAT A WORLD
I love my wife but oh you kidd

Millions dead. Trillions lost. China good. Or else.
Or else what? They were already ok to kill us, to make money off our deaths and on top insulted us as racists when we asked questions about why we can't have Christmas or why grandma had to die in an isolation ward.
Ffs stand up people
USE HANDS NOT PAPER
