a lot of the discourse around workers not going back to minimum wage jobs ignores the fact that half a million people died last year and even more lost their income. not to mention the several million people that were not eligible for unemployment and couldn't afford to keep their homes so they got kicked out before/after the rent moratoria went into effect and are still living on the street today or didn't even survive the winter.

let's also remember that when businesses had to cut costs they chose to fire from the bottom up, then furlough the highest paid. people who were already living check to check were sacrificed so those with disposable income could get paid to stay home.
