    What is the point of calling out people?

    Getting mad at people who have the means to have a sane approach to the pandemic isnt productive. Yeah you can say it’s exploiting “essential workers” but I don’t really get it when the alternative to getting a delivery is going out yourself and mixing people together more. The fundamental issue is the lack of protection and lack of support for “essential” workers, plus a very fast and loose definition of essential.

      Nah you get the point entirely, i just think you're being a bit defensive on the subject.

      I'm in a position where I don't have to go out, barely but so far at least. You're just looking too deep into that particular line.

      They were just pointing out that the liberals calling essential workers "heroes" and dictating them to continue working with zero added protections or benefits are also people that don't have to be in the public and at risk constantly.

      There's nothing wrong with staying in during a pandemic, like I said it's a good thing, the problem is exploitation as always.
