I'm guessing the only reason he didn't do that was because she was getting almost all of the flak.

I used to live in SF before it went to shit, and in the ritzier parts of town like Pac Hts, lots of people come from money and the Crazy Quotient is astronomical.

right, it's a fear/anger response. Which is kind of sad, really - that's no way to go through life, indignant and afraid.

not so much, in Pacific Heights. Lots of people there are both Hoity AND Toity.

I don't know about that, Karens never say "I don't care," if fact they care far too much about things that don't concern them.

Very sad. A very conservative friend of mine, who had not posted on the face page for quite some time, addressed one of my posts one day by positing that I must be paralyzed by fear of the virus, and ended by saying, "how sad." I responded by saying that I am not fearful. I am smart, informed and cautious, and that he would think, knowing me, that I would be cowering in fear, was what was truly sad. I have not heard from him since.

Nice.

typically conservative in that his focus was on the paralysis, not the fear or the risks. So unmanly! Not brave like him, risking death daily!

That turnaround from "I did nothing wrong, lol" to "SORRY SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE MY WHITE RACIST ASS I'M SORRY" is completely unconvincing. She still thinks she did nothing wrong but she's annoyed fellow white people, some of whom have influence over her career, and that's red alert.

Hubby was fired too for his part in this. Oops

Excellent banjo player Eddie Adcock warns against jumping to conclusions with this story:He was doing some yardwork in front of his very fine home, dressed in clothes that had seen better days, when a lady pulled up and rolled down her car window. "Excuse me," she said. "How much do they pay you to do this work?" "Well, ma'am," Eddie replied, "they don't pay me nothing, but the lady of the house lets me sleep with her sometimes."

The use of the phrase Karen in this case is to denote a stereotype. No one said it was her name, her name was correctly used. Sophistry has no place in this argument.

So this morning her husband, Robert Larkins, was fired by capital management company, Raymond James. Bet they wished they had continued to shelter in place and kept their white privilege indoors, instead they took it for a walk and it but them in the ass, hard!
