For every one of the fuckers who think grandparents should die for the economy....
The fucking lot of you are probably rich. At the least, wealthier than I will ever be in my lifetime and I hope it's a long one, too.
Many of us have done the things you assholes have never done. We've served in the military. We've worked in the medical field, a messy and unforgiving area that those who've never done it will never understand. We're the ones that served you your food, did your laundry, mowed your lawn and cleaned your fucking mansions.
There is a nurse in this country who was diagnosed with Covid-19. When her health turned for the worse, she refused a ventilator because she didn't want to deny someone else. She died.
How many of you fuckers would do that?
You think sacrifice is so easy and you spout off about it as if you know what it means. You don't. It's goddamn meat for your base that you serve for selfish motives.
You want people like me, people like my mother-in-law and father-in-law to die for the fucking economy, to die to make some of you richer. Are you going to come to their funerals and lament about their sacrifice?
Here's one better...
If you're so devoted to the words you're spewing, go work in a Covid-19 ward. Go work in an ICU. Those nurses and doctors aren't working to keep the economy growing. They are putting their lives on the line to save people. They don't have the proper equipment to protect themselves so they make due and then they head into the lions den to battle an invisible enemy. They know it could kill them, but they do it anyways.
That is true sacrifice. That is a true hero. One who is willing to risk their life in order to save others.
This is the depth of character none of you will ever have.

I was employed by the VA Medical Center when AIDS first appeared.
They knew it was in the blood, they figured that out pretty quick.
I was working in an office with doctors coming in/out all day to get coffee, soup and juice in-between/during surgeries.
We worked anyway, knowing it was in the blood that many had spots of on their surgical gowns.
We went to the blood gas room to get water to make them their coffee and soup.
I just did my job typing up research grants to find a treatment and/or a cure for what became known as AIDS.
This was in 1983 in San Francisco.
Let just one of them do what I did for one day!
No one cared to have the job I had, believe me.
I have relatives that have never had jobs. They've relied on others their entire lives for everything.
I never hear from them as they just want gifts and I just don't have much for gifts these days.
I am disgusted at best and shame on their parents for allowing their children to become the selfish people that they have grown up to be. They learned this behavior from their parents that are of this same ilk btw. 
Today, I feel like that are waiting for me to die being I have a serious progressive disease. I never get as much as a Christmas card much less a call as these days I have few gifts to give!
So yeah, I feel you, believe me.
I did my share of AIDs care and I lost friends. Nurses were scared shitless. I was a medic in the Army and to watch how paranoid and horrible some got was infuriating.
I decided that would not be me and I would care for those who got this disease through no fault of their own.
It seems hemophilia ran in the family.
He had no idea that this would some day KILL his children as about half of them were hemophiliacs.
I remember when his son was dying of AIDS.
He had become psychotic towards the end.
His father, this doctor, continued to come to work every day. I'll never forget that God awful look he had on his face as his children were dying of AIDS.
It was the saddest thing I ever saw in my life!
That shall soon be not the case.
I fucking hate bush, but at least he would've done more than the fucking orange dick in the WH. 
it's notable that many of us don't have to sacrifice our lives at all. We just have to sacrifice some money temporarily by staying home. And there is trillions in revenue that our government should be using towards keeping people afloat with housing/food/bills during this time instead of massive tax cuts for the rich and wars for the rich.
I know one elderly grandpa who needs to sacrifice his presidency and resign since he's definitely about to lose reelection.
And so they will be unable to make that sacrifice for their country.
I agree with you 100%, cynatnite.
