@garbados it's hard trying to speak up about this because people are so used to the status quo that they can only view things from a perspective of the current state of affairs. Like, yeah, restaurants are probably going out of business over this and people need to pull stunts to stay afloat.

But that's because we built the system like this. We can build it a different way. This is not ordained by nature, we're free to choose differently!

@garbados some German politician suggested something similar:

now that people in the hospitality industry are out of a job, how about they go harvest vegetables, now that we can't have seasonal workers from Poland come in

my suggestion is that we make all politicians with racist policies do that.

@garbados Where can I sign up?

@garbados

that's exactly what happened after WWII. Exactly.

@garbados once we've done healthcare we need to do real estate.

@garbados In the current capitalist present, the incentive to retrain into essential work is survival.

Don't know what more y'all would need.
