The headline has changed, but this used to say: "Service workers aren't lazy - they're dead." https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/05/service-industry-workers-...

Still quite an exaggeration, since most of the (ex) service workers I know are going to coffee bars and sharing joints. I’ve seen a few teachers unions get busted for coordinating vacations abroad while they boycotted in-class learning because it was an “unnecessary risk”.
The reality is, a lot of people are abusing the temporary safety nets to avoid what they see as inconveniences because it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably won’t come back to bite them.
