"Heroes" in the U.S. are just political words in order to be used for talking points. We say thanks to our health care workers then go attend a 22 person dinner without masks. Firefighters, Cops, Teachers, Veterans, etc. are all "heroes" or political pawns; I felt this as a veteran. I'm just tired.

Edit: Thanks for the awards. Take care, stay safe.

A paycut followed by a pay freeze and big bonuses at the top. Double the work and have your neighbors afraid of coming near you. A solid chance that every time you go to work you will get sick and hurt your family. Rejected from no-contact businesses because you have been near patients with covid. Shove your hero label up your ass, pay me.

Edit: My old man rant got a lot of attention. If you want to help it's really easy. Lend computing power to help cure multiple diseases at foldingathome.org

Yup, can't wait for them to get fucked over just like the 9/11 first responders did.

We don't give a single flying fuck about our heroes.

Edit: At the very least there seems to be lots of people who are genuinely upset at how loosely that word is thrown around by our public and private institutions without giving these people the backing they deserve.
