Andrew Cuomo to upset non-essential workers: ‘get a job as an essential worker’

People are finally beginning to get upset at the government’s authoritarian response to COVID-19 and they are beginning to push back. People are now starting to take to the streets in protest because they are sick and tired of the government telling them they are only allowed to work, eat, and sleep. In  in most cases the people are not even allowed to work, these people are stuck in the homes and in their yards and it is no wonder they are getting upset.

  Now some of the politicians are starting to be questioned by the media and they do not like it. Take the smarmy Andrew Cuomo and his response to a question about non-essential workers not being able to make ends meet. When asked about letting people go back to work he almost sounded offended by the idea and this is what he had to say about non-essential workers who would like to make a living: 

“You want to go to work, go take a job as an essential worker,” Cuomo said. “Do it tomorrow.”

“There are people hiring. You can get a job as an essential worker, so now you can go to work and now you are an essential worker and now you won’t kill anyone,”

  That is a “let them eat cake” comment if I have ever heard one. We have talked about how demeaning the term “non-essential worker” is in the past, to think that the government believes what you do for a living is not important is offensive. Every job is essential to the person who holds it and every business is essential to the person who owns it.

  But Andrew Cuomo’s solution to a problem his government created is even more offensive; if you are non-essential and you would like to feed your family and keep the roof over your head just go out tomorrow and get a job the government deems is important, otherwise just shut up. How hard can it be?

  That comment alone tells us everything we need to know about the government elites. And what about that comment about not killing anyone if you are essential? Isn’t the risk greater that you would infect and kill somebody or become infected and die if you are in the workforce? It makes no sense.
