The front line healthcare workers!
Such heroes!!!
I believe: Sick people have enough on their plate without being responsible for making front line healthcare workers feel like heroes.
I feel like...
The whole thing of front line healthcare workers being revered as heores... Is a little... Culturally... Like being the guy yelling 'white lives matter' at a Black Lives Matter convention. That is to say... It is true that White lives matter. It is true that White lives matter just as much as black lives. It is true that many white lives have been treated terribly by elite white supermacists etc. But it it... What is the phrase... Tone deaf.
I do understand that managers felt entitled to grubbing up all the money to console themselves that the front line workers got recognition as heroes while they didn't get comparable recognition for all the work they did.
But I also understand that... YOu know... 'working at Burger King, spitting on your Onion Rings' for the lack of recognition and also money for all the work...
Singling out a group as heroes... Is... A bit tone deaf.
ANd risks cluttering the field with self-serving people who need to be revered as heroes.
