I saw that yesterday and thought it over for a bit and wonder if this card is another Russian disinformation campaign meant to stir shit up and divide the nation?
Didn’t all the inhabitants of the original planet die of a virus because a telephone wasn’t properly disinfected?
Curiously apropos.
Remember that the “non-useless people” left behind on Golgafrincham died of a virulent disease contracted from dirty telephones. There is a lesson in there about essential workers in our current times.
It’s got a bar code and everything. Must be legit.

This is wonderful, thanks! I was just wracking my brain and the best I could come up with was something along the lines of “Freedom To Beat yr Ass” for being an antisocial citizen, but this is so much better. I hope I don’t run into anyone wielding the original FTBA card, but if I do, I’m going to have one of these on hand to give them.
