wiggin, your complaints that
"Damn, it's hard to hire "Household Help" these days" only reinforces that not much has changed in our class-driven society for generations: it just sounds different during a health pandemic. :bored:
Even the well-meaning "elite" don't seem to understand how systemic/institutional inequities have impacted the lives of nannies or housekeepers (let alone landscapers, grocery or farm workers, or pizza or Amazon deliveries).....yet want to blame "complex" laws or insurance policies for making it hard to have a conscience.
Reminded me of the book
Bobos in Paradise,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobos_in_Paradise, written by a BoBo conservative. :rolleyes:
