    As someone who is been in customer service my whole life, thank you for this. Everyone seemed to forget really quickly that during the pandemic, customer service workers were right there in the front lines with the medical professionals, logistics teams, post workers, etc. holding things together at the seams. We're human, we're skilled, and we're real folks. Please treat us like it.

    Even here in Europe, minimum wage jobs seem to be BACKBREAKING work more often than not. Physical labour, being on your feet all day, heavy lifting, and doing all of that for 6-8h straight while having to manage customers. Even if the work you do doesn't require some super advanced skills or some prestigious degree, if it involves you pushing your body and sacrificing your health all day every day, it likely is WAY more demanding than some tech-y office job.

We bring the smack down on corporations and monopolies, and ease things like licensing, loan interest, and rents for small businesses, while raising the minimum wage, AND investing once again in mills, textile mills, and other materials locally to keep costs down.
