On this May Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
MorguninRemarkable.
It apparently took us only five years to forget this to the point of needing to be reminded of it on May Day.
A stark testament to the poignancy of the people in these jobs being criticized at the time, for pointing out that “ovations don’t pay bills.”
I still agree with them.
Gestures of appreciation are nothing more than empty window dressing, if the ones being “appreciated” aren’t earning a living wage.
