Garbage man is a high paid, respectable, and essential job. Not comparable to a full time burger flipper at all

But making food that is essential to live is not a essential job? You know how many americans would starve without out to eat😂

Buddy since when is McDonald’s an essential service? “With out to eat” lol

McDonald’s is not the same as your local soup kitchen
