#johanna also leaves notes in the margins

[triassictriserratops]

If the books are Katniss’s memo, we could headcanon Peeta having a personal annotated version with small notes of his perspective and opinions. 😕 faces at the Gale kisses. Flirty teasing each time Katniss is obliviously fawning over him. Sweet notes each time Katniss shows how much she needs him. I don’t even know what he would do with the beach scene

In response to what I think is this thread. (and this offshoot thread) ANON. MY DARLING ANON. MY SWEET BABY ANGEL ANON.

ANON YOU'VE GIVEN ME SUCH A WONDERFUL IDEA AND I LOVE YOU FOREVER. Hokay. So (Dis is Earth) WHAT IF WE ANNOTATE A DOC OF THE BOOKS AS IF WE'RE PEETA READING IT AND LEAVING LITTLE NOTES FOR KATNISS TO READ IN THE MARGINS?!?!?!?

Who would want to read this?????

WHO WOULD WANT TO WORK ON THIS WITH ME?????

Tagging @waywardangel-wilds and @sameschmidtdiffname right off the bat as tributes because HOLY SHIT this has the potential for GREAT hilarity.

Financial services workers dying for junk mail

You've probably noticed that despite the shutdown, you're still getting "automated" business paper mail: bills, statements, etc. You might have assumed that the whole process for printing, assembling and mailing these was automatic.

It's not. It's done by human beings: low-waged workers, largely working through staffing agencies in giant warehouses, and they are dropping dead of coronavirus because their employers have prohibited them from taking sick leave.

Broadridge Financial Solutions is a $4.4B/year company that uses contractors like TMG Mail Solutions and Randstad to print, stuff, and mail out business letters. At least 6 employees in its massive Long Island facility are dead after being denied PPE, leave and treatment.

They were murdered for junk mail.

Workers in the facility received written notices telling them that they would be fired if they missed more than two days' work. The same notice discouraged the use of PPE (which the company was not supplying).

"Menjivar also said that she saw one TMG worker wearing a mask brought from home. A supervisor confronted the worker and made them remove it, she said, saying that masks were prohibited unless the worker had a doctor’s note saying it was necessary."

The dead are parents, spouses, daughters and sons. Here are some of their names: Jose Bonilla Flores, Lucio Acosta, Juan Gonzalez, Anthony DeNoyior, Astrid Echenique and Aleyamma Kuriakose.

They worked for the company for years - decades, in some case - and pulled 12h shifts.

They were murdered for marginal efficiencies in junk mail production.
