Minimum wage scumbags and corporations that spent the past ten years financing debt for stock buybacks are getting higher wages and bailouts, respectively. Write a letter to your congressman about how nurses, doctors, paramedics, and other healthcare workers deserve hazard pay. They actually kept working and aren’t getting shit at a time when many have died.

Also, call your mom and tell her you’re grateful. That’s how dad did it. That’s how America does it

Yeah, no. Those people aren't working in hazardous conditions. They're not elderly with underlying health conditions in nursing homes. For them it's just a slight increase of risk over their regular working conditions. Also they're not performing "work duty that causes extreme physical discomfort and distress". Maybe some, but it's not extreme.

What they should get is a parade and the knowledge that among the millions of people who were fired through executive orders, their career prospects seem very optimistic and secure.

1.4 million healthcare workers have lost jobs during this. And you’re an idiot

Well that's awesome I guess what I meant to say is out of the 22 million people who lost their livelihood this year, 1.4 million are advantaged and will see the fastest recovery in earning potential due to the fact that they are healthcare workers. Personally I wouldn't redistribute wealth even more toward that segment but my cruelty knows no bounds.

Do you know who else is working hazardously during this terrible time? Coal miners. Coal miners are essential because if we stop mining coal even for a minute we lose power to 40% of the country and millions will die. So now in addition to the regular black lung they also get bonus covid lung and I've not heard one single person not one single person in the world mention the men who are keeping all those ventilators powered and the rest of us just a tiny bit further from a paroxysm of unlit chaos. They sit packed 40 to a car on the way down the shaft and knees apart on the lateral transport and no one talks about hazard pay for these way more essential people because coal miners aren't whiny bitches on the gram.

It's like giving firefighters bonuses for fighting fires or cops extra pay for shooting black people. To all the people complaining, just do your job and die if you have to. Try to have a little dignity for fucks sake and be a little stoic about it, there's been people digging tunnels with their fingernails out of concentration camps before you, have a little respect and get some perspective about the amount of danger you're in and the sacrifice you're being asked to make.

There's plenty of things that irritate me about the bloody Limeys, but I always appreciated their ability to die with dignity.

If you get to hide in your home and receive unemployment, and if we’re collectively agreeing this virus is so dangerous that everyone needs to “shelter in place,” then people who are forced to have massive amounts of human contact deserve hazard pay. If you disagree, send your unemployment and $1200 check back to the US treasury. Otherwise, write your congressman asking for healthcare workers to receive hazard pay.

Coal is only essential because this country is too stupid to understand nuclear energy. It is absolutely not essential to any degree. And firefighters should get hazard pay for having to work right now. Again, if we face a societal “shelter in place,” anyone having to face the clearly dangerous thing requiring us to shelter in place should receive an incentive to do so, and they are certainly more deserving than McDonald’s burger flippers who are now making $900 a week in unemployment

I’ll send you what to write in your letter to congress. Hope this helps!

I like how you agree with me because of course I'm right and then your brain does that thing where people like you realize you lost the argument but you have fucking pride man fucking pride, so then you type the most opposite thing that you possibly can. Unfortunately you didn't delete the previous sentence and now you sound like an incoherent schizophrenic.

Anyway now that we both agree that this country has no coal reserve and that coal is responsible for 40% of this country's energy grid supplies and that electricity is the single most important force in our society, I'm glad you now support my thesis that doctors and nurses are way way down the ladder of people we should honor during this crisis.

Here is the complete list of who we should honor during this crisis: Everyone who is doing their job and their job description doesn't include working through hazardous conditions not related to their jobs. So like grocery clerks, yes because when they got their job it didn't say you must work through a plague. Nurses on the other hand, no because their job description includes the working through the plague bit.

You know why coal miners are more important than "healthcare workers"? Because you can't put quotes around the former.

Coal is not essential, unless you also like asthma and lung cancer. We have thorium, get with the program. IF we are paying people to do nothing, forcing people to work with human contact, often in contact with those sick with a virus that we’ve determined is so deadly that everyone must stay home, those people deserve hazard pay to face that risk. Have you ever intubated a person infected with coronavirus? Of course you haven’t, but the process makes you highly likely to contract covid

I really and truly hopes this helps

He puts the quote around healthcare workers because that supposedly includes the 20-something-year-old do-nothing andro who doubles up on shis morbidly obese parents disability grab while pretending to be a CNA.

That 39% figure was in 2014. As of 2019 it is only 23%, largely replaced by natural gas.

The only reason so much of our country runs on coal is because we are retarded. Who else do we share that with... China? Every other wealthy nation is phasing it out because, guess what, people don't like lung cancer and mercury in the environment, and natural gas is more efficient.

In fact coal is so fucking dirty, so toxic and hazardous that coal miners and everyone else in the coal industry do us and themselves an incredible disservice with their work, what little of that work is even left. Point me to the nearest mineshaft so I can spit down it and hopefully hit some miners
