Never going to forget the day I had to throw out like $2400 worth of dead lobsters because despite our pleading to space out the shipments, corporate sent us like 1000 pounds of lobster all at once and surprise surprise most of them died before they made it into the tank

I can’t think about pretty much any basic part of American society without becoming both enraged and overcome with grief
