 apparently it's earth day today

why do we as people keep on making annual celebratory dates for everything? 
 Keeps people focused on anything but the truth.  
 Like the Romans at the colosseum 
 Bread and circuses 
 Do you not believe we live on Earth? 
 Gotta move product somehow… 
 Well, happy ₿rthdy. 
 Earth Day has been around since 1970 and isn't a consumer thing. 
 happy tanel day bro 🫂 
 Earth day has been around for decades 
 Dunno. But I Love em. We should make an annual 'make an annul celebratory date' day.
