If they want to give out $1,000 to essential workers, where is the money for all the people who work in grocery stores or convenience stores or at motels or at restaurants who were serving food to go? What about people who work in warehouses and Truckers and factories and meat packing plants and fruit packing plants? I can think of so many more who are more deserving of this money then the fools who don't do their job during normal times. Our government at work!

That isn't a good thing. Dreampuff Jun 2021 #1

All of the workers that you listed are members of the private sector rather than the public sector. TexasTowelie Jun 2021 #2

I evidently have messed up in my messaging. Dreampuff Jun 2021 #3

Okay, and please accept my apology for what I inferred about your view of public sector employees. TexasTowelie Jun 2021 #4

Thank you. No worries. Dreampuff Jun 2021 #5
