#easential workers

Remember a few months ago I made a post about how all the commercials, businesses, celebrities and random avg Joe's were talking about frontline workers, including food industry workers, were heroes and necessary for the very fabric of America. Remember in that rant I talked about how tips increased and people were actually on our side when it came to capitalism and pay with our essential jobs. Then I mentioned about a month or two later, regardless of where the pandemic was at, things would go back to normal and these sudden "low end essential jobs" will go back to being treated poorly and as if we are all ignorant, dumb clowns that didnt make correct life choices. That we deserve our shit oay that isnt even a living wage no matter what state you live in.... yeah. Let me find that post because I hit the nail on the head. We are back to that. We are back to being treated like shit and hated on by customers. We are back to people pretending we didnt risk our lives and family's lives by working during the pandemic. Thank you America. May you continue your hypocrisy and completely uneducated, sad, terrible views. Welcome to America. Home of the brave, aka, the underpaid who are desperate to gain money just to live they will put their lives on the line. We also dont have insurance nor can we afford it so god forbid we get injured during our tasks to help those more privileged (some dont even work, its just old money). Then when we do get sick we cant go see a doctor because of low pay and this is the very few times we wont get fired because of the pandemic. That being said, most states at least mine is, is an at will state, meaning they can fire me for any reason at all and they dont have to tell me why. So yeah, I am sure people have gotten fired for getting covid because they can't get other to cover their shift the entire time their in quarantine even though they should be shutting down for two week anyways. But hey. Capitalism am I right? Fuck the little guy. The hard worker that shows up sick because they cant afford to miss work or get fired. The one that cant get health insurance. The one who cant get a second job because schedules come out the week before and expect you to find a replacement. The one who won't let you get a second job and then yell at you for trying or for getting one and needing a day off for your other job but wont give you a raise and/or more hours to meet the bill requirements and get food or meds (which again no insurance so bye to that anyways like in my case).
