People I Need to Avoid

Hey, it's getting ugly out there.

You can’t read the newspaper these days without encountering news on someone or some group of people that you must avoid. Life is miserable enough with fears of a recession — or even a depression — increasing. So why would you want to spend one second with people who add to the suffering?

Your list will be different from mine. And let me say I hope not to make it onto your list. Should you find yourself on my list, please assume it is a mistake—that either you misunderstood my list or that I made a mistake in including you or the group of undesirable people I hope to avoid.

Here’s the list:

Anyone who looks like Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Anyone who looks or acts like Heinrich Himmler. There are not many of these people. I am thinking of one individual.

Victims of excessive plastic surgery.

Everyone with three Trump flags on their boat or a tattoo of Trump on their arm (or anywhere else on their body).

Proud Boys, especially those who hide their affiliation or anyone else in a militia involved in the January 6 insurrection. I am afraid of you, so help me and stay away.
