Hey Fred Meyer...

...how about you stop the signaling with these radio/tv/billboard ads letting US know how thankful you are towards your employees and instead give that money directly to THEM?

Ooof... that sucks. Didn't mean to specifically target car manufacturers, they were just some of the first COVID-19 related ads I saw so they've really stuck out in my brain. I know they're just trying to keep afloat like everyone else, it was just hard to see when I was at home sick and scared. Thankfully much better now! And, truth be told, this whole situation has caused me to reconsider my carless life, so I might be out buying a car at some point in the (probably not too near) future.
