Invite people , but also make sure to touch base with people who maybe aren ' t around . There are a bunch of comments here about older people being alone . Maybe Great Aunt Ida isn ' t your favorite person , but calling or sending a card could brighten her day . <| sep |> uSpedting <| sep |> Shut up with you leftist bullshit . Generalizations are stupid . <| sep |> Are you irony gate keeping ? <| sep |> Here , they ' re allowed to hire nearly anyone who ' s willing to drive them . No testing , no licensing , nothing . The sugar beet harvest known as the great beetoff , heh brings in any , many people from out of state just to drive the beets to the plants . Some have never driven a truck in their lives . Every year , people complain about the safety , there are accidents , the overloaded trucks drop beets onto highways , onto other cars damaging them in the process , and the farmers whine and cry about how it ' s so unfair to be held to the same standards as everyone else . Boo fucking hoo .
