The reason they’re not considered essential is because they’re easily replaceable, not because they work they do isn’t valuable. You can’t pull someone off the street to be a principal at a consulting firm, but you can to stock shelves. That’s why their wages and benefits are so low; supply/demand holds true. Being essential requires scarcity and value, which few professions have, such as medicine.
Job is not “who”, as the question stated. I’ll admit there’s some ambiguity. I think they need more health protections than they currently have, but I’m not a fan of restricting the market in favor of “living” wages. It just leads to layoffs due to higher costs for businesses. The market should determine wages. Since the job is essential (I.e the grocery store likely cannot close without mass panic), consumers willingness to pay will go up during a pandemic, and the grocery store can support higher wages. Competition helps create reasonable prices and it generally works out.
And yet D1 is probably hiding inside on useless conference calls. How about we learn to respect the supply chain we all rely on for everything from food to toilet paper.
I need to work for this guy
D1 - don’t be pedantic, you fully understood the message P OP was putting forth. And if you support the huge income inequality in the US I feel you’re misguided. Trump supporter perhaps?
D1, obviously not, but it’ll help them see through the month. We need fundamental changes in economic policy (especially taxation) and political agendas to fix these problems. The same applies to the appalling health care system in the US.
