The Irony and Hypocrisy of Advocates for Working Class During the Pandemic

The chapter exposes the irony of certain professional managerial class individuals pushing for the working class to return to work during the pandemic without facing the same risks themselves, shedding light on the lack of genuine concern for workers' safety. It discusses how politicians disregarded the effectiveness of masks for political reasons and how a geographical divide was used to downplay the severity of the pandemic in certain areas. The chapter also delves into the impact of Trump's response to the pandemic on the ideological positions of the right in 2020, emphasizing the prioritization of profits over public health and the lack of advocacy for working-class individuals.
