You are structurally and financially closer to a port worker than you are to a port owner, don’t be fucking weird about labor solidarity y’all. If their labor is so neccessary you’re freaking out about not having it, WE SHOULD PAY THEM. Support unions, support workers, don’t be weird. Okay, bye.

Unsurprised but dismayed that people in 2024 are really using “but they make more than me” as justification for no raises for essential workers. EVERYONE SHOULD MAKE MORE. The solution is “more money for everyone” not “no money for anyone unless I get mine”. Come on, y’all.
