      Workers deemed “essential” are more likely to live below the federal poverty line or hover just above it, according to an @AP analysis of census data in the country’s 100 largest cities.http://apne.ws/IB5nS7D

          Sounds like we shouldn’t be making “value judgements” about the contribution of ppl to society. Because clearly it has targeted minorities. End the lockdown, let the market decide who is essential, not a person behind a podium.

          In most cases, "essential" means "disposable."

          So not really “essential,” just “expendable.”
