I've always seen Resistbot less for the lazy& more for those who have less time to craft a full letter or those with hearing impairments or anxiety that makes phone calls to MOCs difficult.

What follows is an infuriating, fascinating and beautifully told account of how plant employees tried to raise alarms about what they suspected was a covid-19 outbreak at their workplace. The state refused to help them. Agri Star's owner denied there was a problem at his plant. It took a geneticist-turned-disease detective named Paraic Kenny to piece the mystery together, mapping every case in Postville on a corkboard and finally concluding, that the plant was the epicenter of a deadly outbreak
LOL
