This is especially incredible because Musk announced 4/28 that Tesla cancelled it's D&O policy (because it was insanely expensive WONDER WHY) and that he'd be self-insuring his own D&O for himself and the board.

I'm definitely more aware of Joe Biden's history if sexual assault, so that's a win for awareness this month.

Kenji is not the idiot, but rather, and I poo poo you not, Caren White, who wrote this piece: Why You Need to Stop Baking Bread

quote:

I was walking down the baking aisle to see if the organic flour was on sale. Organic flour is expensive and I am poor so I always try to buy it when it goes on sale. There was no sale and no flour. The shelves were bare. My eyes travelled up to the top shelf. The shelf with the leavening ingredients. Also bare.

How could this be?

When I got home, I logged on to my laptop and started reading articles on the pandemic. I had stopped reading most pandemic related articles weeks ago because they were upsetting me too much. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t concentrate. I needed to distance myself. But I knew that the pandemic had something to do with the bare shelves in the baking aisle so I exposed myself to the turmoil once more.
It seems that there has been a run on flour and yeast because people are bored so they are baking bread to pass the time.

Seriously?

Baking bread is a way of life for me, not a hobby. Not something to do just to pass the time. I don’t eat store-bought bread. I rarely eat prepared foods of any kind. If you visited my kitchen, you would find food but nothing to eat because I only stock ingredients. I do all of my own cooking and baking. On Saturday nights, I don’t order pizza, I make it. From scratch. Including the crust. I also grow my own popcorn, but that’s a topic for another day.

You see, I am one of THOSE people. You know the ones. You offer them a plate of food and they look at it suspiciously asking “Is that organic?” I want to know what is in my food so I make it myself. By the way, croutons? Made from my homemade bread. Breading for fried chicken? Made from my homemade bread. Stuffing for the Thanksgiving turkey? Made from my homemade bread. So when you buy up all of the flour and leavening ingredients for the sake of pretty photos on your Instagram feed you are literally taking food from my mouth. And the mouths of other families who also do their own their baking so that they can provide healthy food for their families.

Here’s the problem. It’s Economics 101. Supply and Demand. Before the pandemic, very few people did scratch baking so the grocery stores carried only limited supplies of flour and leavening. Both go bad, so they don’t want it hanging around the shelves for too long. Hence the limited quantities. That was okay. There was always enough for those of us who needed it. But there is not enough now that we are competing with a bunch of dilettante bakers who care nothing for anyone but themselves.

Yes, I know that sounds harsh, but I’m willing to bet that not a single one of them stopped to think as they grabbed the last of the flour and the yeast that they were robbing other people’s children of their daily bread. Nope. I’m certain all they cared about was how impressed everyone was going to be with their picture perfect loaves of bread.

Here’s an idea. If you are bored and want to learn new skills, why don’t you learn how to garden and impress everyone with your tomatoes? Or how about learning how to sew to make masks for hospitals and first responders? I know, learn to crochet so you can make those cute market bags for when you go to the farmer’s market.

But, please, please, I’m begging you, stop baking bread.

You should listen to her, because

"I'm poor but I still buy all organic" might be the most confusing part to me ngl. I had to live on 79¢ pot pies for a while as a kid, I was just happy to have calories. I can see somebody doing it, but it seems pretty lovely to demand other people not buy flour if they don't have to when pre-made organic bread is available even in the covidantine.

Idiots like your friend were all over Reddit as well. Any time you'd mention having more than $1000 in a regular savings account one of them would inevitably pop up telling you to invest it in an S&P 500 index fund because it's just "losing value to inflation" in a bank account... never mind that stock markets can crash and lose a lot more value than inflation or that the very time you'd most need that money would likely coincide with said crashes. Also, inflation in general has been extremely low since the 2008 financial crisis so I'd rather "lose" a guaranteed 0.5% than risk losing 25+% for the chance at better "gains".

While "try to" makes it not sound as bad, "storm" makes it sound worse.

But I guess "armed protesters walk inside capitol building and yell dumb things" doesn't make for a great headline.

Edit: To clarify, it's super hosed-up, but "storm" makes it sound like an insurrection.
