He mocks quarantine-fetishizing 'cat mom' bread-bakers and reckless spring breakers alike, then argues that essential low-status jobs like meatpacking exist because someone has to do them, tying it to a woman he saw limping on Laurel Canyon.
- Quarantine has become a boon for cat mom winos baking bread and displaying shokudo platters all day.
- Some people need to go out and open their business—the fried chicken and grenade stand—because people need fried chicken and grenades.
- Spring break kids are disgusting and the whole thing should end immediately.
- Genuine displays of affection and happiness should be over; people should walk around thinking about death every minute.
- Meatpacking plants are necessary because the food supply can't be interrupted and people need to eat meat.
- Someone has to package the meat before you get it, and you can't tell those workers not to smoke or drink—they need to live how they want.
- Tim saw a woman limping down Laurel Canyon and couldn't help because of COVID protocols.
- The meatpacking plant worker might not be qualified for other jobs—running Paramount Pictures, owning a bank, or being a lawyer.
- Rich people want a vaccine so they can go back to treating working people like shit.
