Boycotting Safety Standards

Title (Dublin Core)

Boycotting Safety Standards

Description (Dublin Core)

Businesses, such as grocery stores, have taken precautions such as having plexiglass shields and only accepting electronic payments to avoid the spread of the virus. Some, like the woman in this post, feel that this infringes upon their rights and calls for a boycott of such businesses. This woman additionally refers to her post as “exposing the modern new life,” indicating how safety standards and a person’s choice whether to abide has become politicized. The person who shared this post on reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook mockingly calls the poster “Karen,” and states she “died of starvation two weeks later.”
