Local Mom ‘Glazed’ Over: How National Donut Day Exposed the Ridiculous ‘Hole’ in Our Priorities
Can we talk about National Donut Day for a second? I’m all for celebrating the hardworking folks at the donut shop, but I just saw a post from the city about “free donuts for essential workers” and my blood started to boil. You know what essential workers really need? A living wage, not a piece of fried dough with sprinkles. But hey, let’s all line up for two hours at Krispy Kreme and clog up Main Street because the city thinks a free cruller is going to fix traffic and potholes. Common sense says if you have time to stand in line for a donut, you have time to pick up that trash blowing down your street. But no, we’re too busy stuffing our faces and posting #NationalDonutDay #TreatYoSelf while our kids are failing math. Priorities people. SMH. Also, don’t even get me started on the gluten-free nonsense—if you can’t eat a donut, just say you hate fun. Go eat a celery stick and leave the rest of us alone.
