    Ok.... I know this isn't exactly about politics. But man, I think it's hilarious that a doughnut company is now doing more to get people to get the vaccine than our own government. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are now offering anyone who's gotten the vaccine a free doughnut every day for this entire year. That's amazing and it's the only thing that comes to mind when I think about who's doing what to actually get people excited to get the vaccine. I know the government is doing what it can to distribute the vaccine itself, but I'm referring to getting people excited to get the vaccine. No one wants to go get a shot, let alone two shots. But everyone wants a free doughnut every single day for a year. Everyone.

    So go get your vaccine and enjoy all the doughnuts.

    There's so much American baked into this story it's not even funny. You have capitalism, marketing, sugar pushers, and maybe even cynicism. Oh man. Ironic that a real incentive for some to go get a shot to protect your health from an immune destroying virus is to consume a drug on the daily that wrecks havoc on your immune system.

    Wow, I didn't even think of it from a health point of view. That makes it way funnier. I bet this will actually make a solid number of people even more willing to go get their vaccine. I would love to see the numbers on how many people weren't going to get it but changed their mind when they found out they'd get free doughnuts. Then again, that might be the saddest number to know of all time.
