As the Chinese coronavirus shuts down our economy and locks in our homes, we are discovering stock boys matter and Hollywood celebrities do not.
Out there in the shit, out there in the danger, out there touching countless surfaces that could be infected, out there working punishing hours for low wages are the people we too often overlook and take for granted — even though they are the ones who keep our world turning.
Away from their families, risking illness, America’s farm workers, truck drivers, grocery store workers, sanitation workers, and delivery people, are holding together the slender thread that keeps our supply chains moving, and those supply chains are the literal difference between civilization and anarchy.
Meanwhile, here’s how America’s elite, America’s royalty, America’s fabulously wealthy and fawned over are “contributing” during these serious and scary times…
e this is all over, we all know the stupid American pecking order will return; a pecking order where the working class who took all the risks and did all the dangerous grunt work to keep our civilization civilized, will at best be forgotten and taken for granted again, and at worst return to being the only class of people you can safely ridicule … because Orange Man Bad.
And those in Hollywood, who proved to be the most disposable and annoying people in the history of the world, will return to being celebrated and hailed as “brave” for silly fashion choices and standing
But at least for now, we are rid of them, and at least for now, we are reminded of how unnecessary they are.

“Stock boys?” LOL! That’s really retro.
Please let me post this to tweeter.
It is a great post.
Can site you as “a post from another site”
or anyway you want.
Hope you are still awake,
but if not, tomorrow is fine.
Thank you for your service
to our country.
Tell everyone you work with
America loves them.
Sure. Leave my screen name out of it, but feel free to share it if you think it would be of value. I’m gonna put my feet up and study the insides of my eyelids for a while.
Send me a link to what you share, if you don’t mind. I’d be interested to see what people make of it.
Great post and very encouraging news.
Yes. Those are all his, purchased with his money over a 35 year career. I can’t even imagine where we are going to put it when he retires.
We also have a monster tool box at the house, but it is tiny in comparison!
“Truckers and Stock Boys Are Vital, Hollywood Is Not”
Aces to your Post!!!

I recently asked a celeb where I could buy toilet paper and was told that their servants always bought the paper so they did not know themselves.....
Yep - when I go to Walmart, I make sure to thank the staff for being there to put up the groceries.
