It’s tempting to say a pandemic is an extenuating circumstance and we can’t make everyone whole in such a situation. We all have to sacrifice.
Perhaps that would be reasonable if we all did our part.
But saying that we are all in this together is laughable. The greatest divide today is not between the rich and the poor or various racial, religious or gender groups; it is between the public and private sectors.
Public health and elected officials suffer no consequences for their actions. Public workers, working or not, are paid. Only the beleaguered private sector pays, in lost dreams, high stress, financial devastation and depression.
