Remember when every TV pundit suddenly realized nurses, bus drivers, postmen, delivery people and janitors were "essential workers"?

Now, the same imbeciles are noticing that cooks, servers, truck drivers and others are also "essential workers". And that life without restaurants or opened shops really suck.

Soon, the very same idiots may well realize that moving entire industries to China and having just-in-time supply chains because $PROFITS is not such a good idea.

Of course, the truth is: all workers are "essential". They supply all the work, including the back-breaking kind.

The CEOs pocket the profits. And then they complain about not finding enough compliant workers and justify moving everything to a dictatorship.

Tax the rich. Raise the minimum wage.

Colleagues mother is dyslexic. So she doesn't use email at all.

Today she had a dental appointment. When she arrived, she had to update her details. They asked for her email address. She told them she didn't have one. They refused her treatment until she could provide one.

Due to a dead phone, she had to drive home, get her daughter to write her email on a piece of paper & drive back with it.

Only then would they treat her.

Told her she should complain to NHS & BDA.

#Cop26 climate talks will not fulfil aims of #ParisAgreement, key players warn

The #UN, the #UK hosts and other major figures involved in the talks have privately admitted that the original aim of the Cop26 summit will be missed, as the pledges on #GreenhouseGas #emissions cuts from major economies will fall short of the halving of global emissions this decade needed to limit global #heating to 1.5C.
