    And you are a hero to that plow driver. And others like you are heroes to the people that also had to be out on terrible weather days and holidays.

    I assume a gas station could run without anyone present, leaving the convenience store part closed, but having someone on-hand to hit an e-stop if needed is pretty important.

    My goal is not to devalue your work, but rather to support it. “Essential workers” are called that for a reason. We should work to ensure that they are paid their worth. Just because it’s not necessarily a “skilled” job doesn’t mean it’s not important. The bro running the local hedge fund is providing way less actual value than anyone in a service job.
