If he didn't have that job, he'd be on the other end of that bulldozer.
There are secretaries at UHC.
There are janitors at maralago.
These people aren't the problem.
They kind of are a part of the problem though.
They're like the Russian soldiers on the front line, who would be shot if they retreated. Dangerous but involuntary.
Other jobs exist. Nobody is shooting you when you put in your notice, or don't.
People are not in a position to just walk out of their jobs on the spot. I'm sure the job description didn't say 'run homeless people out of their camps'. But if you're already in a job, then the choice is between doing what you're told and walking out / not being able to feed your family / losing your apartment / becoming homeless.
Desperate people do desperate things, and depending which study you read, over 50% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
I don't disagree with your feelings. Keep that righteous anger. I've got it too. I'm just saying you need to focus on the affluent who are pushing the desperate to abuse the desolate. They're the problem to solve.
