"When nearly a quarter of civilian workers in the US are shut out of paid sick leave, it’s hard to deny the fucked-up reality that rest remains a luxury for millions of people. And it’s not just the shameful lack of universal paid sick leave (and Medicare for All, and affordable childcare, and and and) that makes rest impossible for some folks; it’s also the pervasive, insidious idea that people who are ill and can’t work—either temporarily or long-term—are disposable." 👏👏👏👏👏👏
