The problem with calling essential workers heroes is that we then don’t have to think of them as being human, as having essential needs, like earning a living wage. The language of heroism assumes altruism and civic obligation that does not require payment. This is bullshit. 1/

They should be paid according to the important needs they are serving during a global pandemic. Flyovers and rosy feel good signs are hollow symbolic gestures that continue to exploit their labor as capital demands. 2/

These empty gestures only serve those who benefit from their labor. They do not materially support these laborers. Pay them for putting their lives on the line every day for us. To do anything else, is simply to keep circulating diseased hot air. Stuff it. 3/3
