As I said before this is literally a fidesz slogan, one they lost with. The competing socialist party made a short ad featuring a small rope dipped in honey that's squeezed. It's a saying akin to the carrot and the stick. They lost because people weren't living better.
sometimes i forget about those times and then i go into the laundry room where we still have gigantic commercial single ply rolls when those were the only TP available
I am a lot angrier and more burnt out than I was four years ago and deeply wish that the reasons for that simply did not happen. But I will trade that every day for "me and all of my friends losing our jobs suddenly and being terrified to get on a bus"
We learnt as kids that dock leaves were a safe outdoors alternate to Andrex 3-Ply and as I had a rather overgrown park outside my apartment, I'd no issue Spring 2020 tho I may have alarmed peeps who saw me crouching in the bushes
I remember when, during a national pandemic, effective facemasks weren't available to the public, so we were being advised on how to fold coffee filters into bandanas to help prevent a deadly respiratory infection. Sigh. Good times, huh?
Am I better off than the months where every single person I came across was a potential vector of a disease responsible for overflowing morgues? But on the other hand ordering a full breakfast for room service at the Ritz costs $75 now.
Or when I was typing my own blood to see how likely it was I'd die if I got COVID. My husband didn't believe I tested AB+ because "nobody is AB+". I got blood typed for surgery last week and guess what, I'm AB+.
One advantage of living in one of the most Asian neighborhoods in Portland was being close to a grocery store that never ran out of anything & a pharmacy that always had every flavor of vaccine with no long waits.
Remember when you were panic-buying in the grocery store and you couldn't find basic needs and you thought 30% of the people you know might be dead? Did you want to go back to that?

It’s true though “remember when the world went to shit and we went out of our way to make it worse?” Isn’t the sales pitch Republicans are hoping it will be. But neither is “we aren’t the republicans” for the Democrats.
Yeah, there was some perceived or performed hiccup to the oil supply and people panicked. Tried to stash gas anyway possible. Some legit got gas cans and drums, others took to heart at least one facet of the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle mantra.
I remember that guy making that video about deep cleaning his groceries and virologist had to come out and say "guys, don't do this. You don't need to do this. You'll probably make yourself sick if you do this."
yes, in fact I did, from the isolation. (I live alone, don't have a lot of local friends and some of my friends are immunocompromised and didn't see anyone outside their family). I will NEVER be the same as I was before
At the beginning of it? Yeah, for sure. National panic over an unknown killer, refrigerator trucks full of dead bodies behind hospitals, funeral homes too busy to accommodate all the dead… that’ll hit pretty hard.
