People die after they fart, people die after they dig their ass crack, people die after they watch their neighbor shovel snow, people die after they cook sweet sour chicken, people die after measles shots, people die after a cup of coffee, people die after they see a fat guy sing, people die after they mow the carpet, people die after bathing the dog, people die after they check the price of gold, people die after they talk to granny................

"Parent groups are crying "hypocrisy" after a video surfaced showing the president of the Berkeley teachers union dropping off his two-year-old daughter at an in-person preschool.
