American Politics XIII: (Un)Lucky For Some

[The Jamesian Republic]

"essential workers" was a bullshit term when it popped up at the beginning of the pandemic in an attempt to fit as many employees under the umbrella of it as possible without considering their health or safety or without increasing their pay and benefits during skyrocketing corporate profits and hazardous working conditions.

"essential workers" is still a bullshit term now that looks like it's still being used to endorse and spout anti-worker bullshit.

Essential workers isn't a bullshit term. Essential workers are devoted people who served our country during its rough times of a pandemic plague. We rarely appreciate those workers; many of them getting paid little for the large, and important jobs they do.

And because of not being appreciated they are striking.

“Essential workers” yet we pay them Jack squat

[San Lumen]

What absolute hyperbolic nonesense.

No he's right I would do that. And if the feds tried to force them to work the pizza toppings would be cheese, pepperoni, and .45 ACP

You’d be laughed at by reporters and your colleagues on the city council or in the state legislature would chastise you and want nothing to do with you. It’s unlikely you’d make it to the general. You’d probably lose the primary.

No, they're underpaid, overworked, and underappreciated workers who are treated like shit by their bosses and don't make a living wage. Don't make it sound like some heroic thing, because it's not. And I'm speaking from the experience of being one of those so-called "essential workers"

daily reminder that liquor stores were considered essential businesses while gyms were not

That's right.

I don't think either are essential tbh

And? it's funny how you think your make believe world where we're all in office is supposed to change my mind.

It’s ironic we don’t appreciate them until we don’t have a lot of them. We never appreciated the supply chain until the workers who kept the chain working were gone.

I think that term fits.

The only time I really want to see 'essential workers' is in phrases like "in recognition of the essential duties these workers perform, their compensation will be increasing as well as hiring initiatives to prevent understaffing and accommodate mandatory one month paid vacations"

Fuck the colleagues he's sending striking workers pizza and firearms. Sounds like Tars has the right people on his side.

Judging by how many dozens of times my grandkids have asked me what a bird is, yes. But when he gets tired he just reuses the same ones.

[Mountains and Volcanoes]

Save your nonsense for somebody who believes it. We didn't shut down the economy. I was working throughout the whole pandemic as were many other countless working class Americans. We spent the pandemic risking our lives and working in hazardous conditions to make the rich wealthier and to help companies see record profits. And didn't get a damn thing for it. Fuck the economy, I would love to see every single working class American go on a general strike and really shut down the economy for real. Because shit doesn't get done when the workers stop working, and it's about time the capitalists get that slap across their face.

Yes there were always persons working, but many stores, restaurants and hotels closed during the virus crisis, many became unemployed and the leftist politicians, VIPs and Leftist Media blamed Trump, these are facts.

Yes. Cause Trump either downplayed or distracted people during that time, while also spreading lies and falsehoods about the pandemic! THAT’S THE REALITY!

It was the kids in the supermarkets - especially in the early days - I felt the most sorry for. Going through all that for a shitty paycheck and virtually no-existent benefits. Naturally they are totally forgotten.

And without support of the legislature or council nothing is getting done. There is no way they’d win a primary or general election after comments and actions like that.

do people still really believe the lockdowns were necessary?

No I totally would, because this is the land of a make believe and I can do what I want

In the real world you’d lose re-election either in a primary or general election.
