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.

I wish I had a degree. But have had a job for 35 years and they won’t let me retire.

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.

Doctors are the exception. Engineers would be another. But when this is over we won’t need so many.

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.

It’s obvious that you don’t understand things have shifted. Many of you will return to nothing. Your future as you had envisioned no longer exists.

Is this where you tell me the proletariat will rise up and throw off the oppressive yoke of the bourgeoisie? And the rainbow haired baristas will inherit the earth?
I’ve learned enough to know what I don’t know and I’ve worked my tools enough to understand the plight of the working man. But if you think the people stocking shelves are capable of running things, well you’ve got a brain that would make Latoya look smart.

Not taking up for the high schoolers, et al but alot of the professional class have an inflated view of themselves.....especially doctors. The people doing the heavy lifting in all of this at the hospitals and testing centers are nurses and lab technicians.
Lawyers are pretty much useless right now. Food producers/brokers are the guys making things tolerable along with line technicians for the electrical grid.

This is where I give you the data. 733,000 new people filed for unemployment in March. It is just the beginning. 20 million jobs lost by the end of April.

Depends on what kind of lawyer. Some lawyers are fixing to make hay.
