Nowadays “We’re all in this together” is merely a figure of speech. Every discussion, every media story, every video, every study, every job application, every school lesson, and every law places more importance on our differences than anything else.
Our togetherness is that of people waiting for plane, crossing a city street, or even that of dogs in a pit.
This bumper sticker stresses that being in the same place at the same time, and “the wrong place at the wrong time,” are equally good descriptions of today’s “togetherness.” It’s not a togetherness of compassion — it’s a togetherness of use.
