An interesting take away from this event.

The country is primarily being being operated by people with only a high school diploma. While those with college degrees are being layed off. At the end of the day, we can’t function without the grocery store clerk, truck driver, policeman, farm worker. They are the ones who ultimately make things work. The academics are expendable.

Just because you can’t use your art history degree doesn’t mean that everyone with a college degree is expendable.

Meh, we could make it without them.

Go ahead and get those guys to maintain the electrical grid. Or develop vaccines. Or a myriad of other stuff.
Don’t lump the blue hairs with a major in lesbian basket weaving in with engineers and scientists and others who worked hard to attain their next level knowledge.
Takes all kinds of fruit to make a fruit salad
ETA: a diploma, or lack thereof, doesn’t make you smart or dumb. I’ve met men without a ged who had incredible knowledge in their field and were smart as a whip, and I’ve met people with doctorates that couldn’t understand simple concepts that didn’t fit their worldview.
A piece of paper don’t mean much in the thick of things. It’s about what’s between your ears

We are a service economy rather than a manufacturing economy now, but those jobs you mentioned are still vital to our economy and daily civilized life.

So you are saying Doctors, nurses, chemist, engineers, and all of the researchers are expendable. Poor little high school dropout, you are misinformed.

That doesn’t make any sense. And BTW, I work in finance and our company is set to hire at least an additional 1,000 people because we are so busy.

Most white collar people are still working from home. Anyone who can breathe can fill a cashier position immediately. The use of the word essential has become nauseating.

Only on the OT do "those with college degrees" = Academics

Essential employee with college degree checking in.
I do have extensive experience flipping burgers and working a register in case the apocalypse gets worse.

That is a stupid take.

Find your trade.

Why do blue-collar people need everyone to suck their dicks every time there’s an inconvenience in the world?

I have an mba and I’m still working. Valid point though.

Unfortunately, there is a very minute tier of experts in niche fields that are necessary for their knowledge and ability, and are therefore not expendable.
Most everyone else, regardless of position or academic level is expendable.

I don't know a single person with a college degree that has been laid off right now. We are all just working from home.
The only people I know that have been laid off are non essential plant workers and service industry workers.

I don't believe things are always that simple to break down.
Edit: Many of the people in the sectors you mentioned may actually hold college degrees. A good many LEOs hold CJ degrees, for example...
