    If you can hold the entire economy hostage, you’re not getting paid enough.

      Yeah people really quick to blame essential workers.

      100k a year? What a joke. Unless you already bought, you are never gonna get a house near a major docks with that salary.

        All workers really.

        When the extremely wealthy hold the economy hostage it’s the “invisible hand of the free market” and when labor holds the economy hostage they’re selfish and greedy free loaders. Really sad how that happens.
