- Roughly representative of CEOs and billionaires .
Maybe pendants who want labor day to be about the labor movement, ie unions, not laborers.
Probably from people who thought that celebrities singing "imagine" accomplished something.
Everything will. Plus, COVID isn't over. So, I hate memes that imply that COVID is gone and over with.
- No, but it’s not what it was before it mutated down. Body bagging people weekly due to COVID is no longer an expectation in hospitals. Losing perfectly healthy, clean living, athletic people to COVID is no longer a thing either.
  However, we still don’t know the full impact of long COVID, or long COVID in the latest strains. Given the neurological aspects thus far, the brain fog, the memory issues, I would not be surprised if we find it contributes to dementia or some such. We will have to wait for the data, granted, I’m sure most of those studies have been destroyed by the Trump admin.
I didn't vote but it does seem a bit dramatic to talk about "saving us". Tbh same for labeling eveyone as "heroes". I feel like the heart is in the right place a lot to of the time to value otherwise devalued jobs but it goes hard in the other direction
- Heroes may be dramatic, yes, but consider the context. Hero is a role in which there is more expectation of death. Another way to see it is corporate’s way of easing the perception around deaths of people working with people during COVID.
Maybe some of them are accidental, it happens

Amen

Let us remember that the pandemic never ended and that these same blue collar workers are at greater risk of permanent disability and death from repeat infections than the billionairs whom benefit from their labour. We should demand clean air, paid sick leave and free PPE and protections for all workers. No one should be required to risk their long term health to make a living. If you dont know what the long term risks are, have a research. Its early days being only 5-6 years into the pandemic but the results so far are devastating. Refering to Covid in the past tense is violence to disabled and vulnerable people - it never ended, y'all just took your masks off and started play acting 2019.

Special thanks to the frontline workers❤️❤️

This is why when the UK was banging pans in the street to celebrate the key workers I declined to join in as I knew they would be forgotten as soon as the pandemic was over.

The CEOs & billionaires profited the most tho.

Like, that's what happened every western crisis so far, but in times of high inflation & market volatility they profit even more. The financial markets with it's highly liquid capital are designed just to accommodate one goal.

I paid extra for expedited groceries last night when I realized the alternative was patronizing business today
