  1. I've been working for a grocery store the last month or so, because people need to eat. The company I work for has been providing PPE and some additional pay, but where is the government in all of this? The Democrats were talking about getting us all $13 an hour in hazard pay, but after announcing that, they haven't actually pushed for even one additional cent. I'm fortunate, in that I already had corvid-19 early on and have less to worry about than most of my coworkers, but it's still not right that we're receiving additional compensation only from our company, whereas the people on unemployment are getting what is equivalent to $15 an hour just for being on unemployment. Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge them the money, and I am grateful to have a job that I'm not likely to lose, but still. It's an insult to the various people that are risking our health and lives, that we're being given nothing from the government to help mitigate the risk or increase the reward of ensuring that various people have access to job. In my case, my job is to go around the store shopping so that other people can just pick their groceries up at the store. I'll never know for sure, but it's highly likely that there will be people alive after the pandemic because my coworkers and I were taking on that risk instead of the customers.
