You don't understand.  These people DON'T CARE.  They care about no one and nothing except and exclusively getting their kids into school buildings at all costs.

Then we start the idiotic rants about how since minimum wage cashiers at Chipotle can't sell burritos via Zoom (and the government has completely failed at providing any opportunity for them to not starve or be homeless while not doing so during a pandemic), that teachers cannot (even though they ARE and have been for MONTHS and MONTHS) teach remotely because these people don't like it and they want their kids in buildings.

God, you are just miserable. I think the "Chipotle rant" you are referring to was me. To start, again, I am supportive of DL. But, what I said was that anyone claiming restaurant and retail workers can make a choice simply not to work, as you argued, was wrong and that many people make their careers in those fields as well. You responded by claiming I was comparing educators to those in retail/food industry as well as stating that people do not consider their work in those latter fields a career. Both statements are completely false, in regard to the "career" question, just speak to the owners and managers of shops and restaurants as well as bartenders, etc. But yes, shockingly, I have a great deal of concern and compassion for those in the retail and food industries who are suffering from COVID both in regard to their health and their financial security in ways that other workers--lawyers, accountants, and yes teachers in HoCo--currently do not face. That concern does not mean I think we should throw everyone back into offices to even the karmic score, for heavens sake.

I'm also the poster who you assumed didn't know AFT was a teachers union when I posted a resource from the union on how to evaluate possible avenues toward reopening. You also, while again attacking me for "only" wanting to reopen schools when I had AGAIN reiterated I was supportive of DL, didn't engage with any of the substance of that guide.

I genuinely can't decide if you're just here as a troll or only log-in after too many glasses of wine. The strawmen you create are numerous and absurd. [/quote]
