People get PTO. It’s built into the cost of hiring workers. From the traffic last night, a LOT of them used vacation time, and probably generated tourism revenue as they traveled to see the eclipse.
My dad definitely used his accrued vacation to post up in a nice hotel in Texas. Lots of people did the same.
But this isn’t about that. It’s about this ingrained labor culture that permeates our society. If corporate isn’t doing good then our media will sound the alarms about how every single American must be suffering and all the average Joe’s problems are because those asshole day laborers took the productivity away.
Same song as when the pandemic forced work from home. The media spent years telling us how selfish those people were. Not even because the companies weren’t still making comparable money, but because office buildings were losing tenants.
But they’d never frame that as offices becoming out dated in the age of technology. It’s obviously the selfish workers who won’t think of the poor leeches that need them to rent their office spaces or the poor middle managers who suddenly become obsolete when everything can be done from a living room.
