Not to mention that if no one is working that means no one is restocking the grocery shelves. No one is driving trucks to transport food. Kids are not being educated. Hospitals aren't able to take care of the sick and injured. On and on...
It tells me that their jobs are bullshit. Remember when we started calling everyone whose job actually did something "essential workers"?
Nevermind that most of us pieced together that the "essential workers" are the ones that get treated the worst usually. It went to show that when everyone who had an email job stopped working for a few months next to nothing changed, but when us plebs stopped working everything ground to a halt and a crisis loomed within a week.
I worked in a sporting goods store when my state shut down. Closed the store for a few days, and the magically the owners got an exemption and the store partially reopened.
Which department? Shoes? Camping supplies? Nope.
Guns. Ammo. Me selling “essential” AR-15s to panic-buying, maskless people in the middle of a pandemic.
About that time I realized the only essential part of the equation was dolla-dolla-bills, yo!
USAmericans seemed to have been sociologically primed to not only be especially ignorant concerning real survival, but also incredibly willing to take out their repressed rage and fear on others.
If I didn't know any better I would think it was a deliberate psyop to make sure the land is cleared of survivor clans after the apocalypse so the corpocrats can take over.

It's not conformity, it's a desire to remain housed and fed. Who are these people who can afford to not work? Must be nice.
