      COVID Update July 7: If someone tells you you’re “essential,” you’re going to want to run the other way. Because “essential” now means underpaid, unappreciated, sacrificial & there to serve everyone else. 1/

      In the future, definitions in @Dictionarycom are going to need to include what “essential worker” came to mean during the COVID crisis. You were essential, but your health, your income, your life, your safety net, and your well being turns out are “not as essential.” 2/

      Keeping America in steaks & Big Macs was essential to Trump as he called meat packing plants essential before they could retrofit so not to be blazing hot spots. You show who’s essential by who you protect & who you don’t. 3/

      Asking people to go to work to keep America moving is nothing new to people who get up early in the morning to pick crops, drive trucks, move boxes, stock shelves, ring the register & bring things to our doors. 4/

      However, other countries like Italy drew much harder lines & asked for much more sacrifice than we did. Shopping only on certain days of the week. Better isolation. More short term pain for all for quicker long term gain instead of luxury for some on the shoulders of others. 5/

      A crisis shows our truest colors. The US put the needs of the well off first, asking for relatively-speaking minor sacrifice (other than learning Zoom angles & teaching math to our kids which is actually no small thing). But “essential” workers have it different.6/

      Essential workers sleep on couches to reduce family spread, beg for masks, take public transport and of course, interact with “non essential” people who refuse to wear masks or socially distance. This just scratches the surface of the indignities of being “essential.” 7/

          Black communities not only have been getting disproportionately sicker from COVID-19 but are disproportionately asked to work to support the rest of the country. Wonder if there’s any correlation... 8/

          Now Mitch McConnell says he won’t renew unemployment insurance. He does want employers released from liability if you get sick in the job. And he’s willing to have a showdown with our lives as stakes this month. 11/

          There’s been no hazard pay, job guarantee, minimum wage (let alone UBI), guaranteed paid sick leave. We are seeing the longest food lines seen in anyone’s lifetime & now we are allowing people to get evicted from their apartments. 12/

          For people who can’t make rent in this difficult time, including many who we think of as “essential,” will be evicted along with their families. Unless Congress stops it. The House passed a bill to protect them. The Senate again isn’t moving yet. 14/https://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1280490414387101696 …

          Trump has mismanaged our Coronavirus response so epically miserably that he’s not going to try to fix it. But instead run a re-election off of “job growth” numbers. Trump is taking a dollar from you & giving you back 5 cents & taking a bow over the nickel. 15/

          Yes Trump campaign supporters will repeat this as “a wonderful economy.” An economy built on Amazon & GrubHub orders while food lines for the essential workers there are at record levels. 16/

          If Trump & McConnell want to run in 2020 on the economy, they should start by making it a priority to keep people safe, put money in their pockets & allow them to avoid medical debt, homelessness & hunger. That’d be a good start for someone you consider essential. 17/
