Adding Social Workers to the list of essential employees
SalvadorVango
Without some of the first group, you wouldn’t have the second group.
MinnesotaMathew
I'll just go ahead and open the doors of the jail I work in and call them from home to tell them what to do.
whereigotogetdownvotes
You forgot non-essential Hollywood actors!
Jess1988NY
actually all of those are still working, just many remotely
stonewalljackson27342
Also by this definition, teachers are nonessential.
ACSwineburne
This does get dumber each time... maybe it 'reinforced' this idea, but you're a knob if you thought hedge fund managers>any listed option.
AFSamizdat
Don't forget we need oil, therefore it needs to be funded and managed.
somepersondoingsomethings
This is dumb and I'm betting its self gratification 9 times out of 10.
waitdoyounot
Almost everyone is essential. We should treat all professions with respect and provide living wages to everyone. That should be the lesson
CatsUpvoteTerror
Wall Street bankers hedge fund managers , and oil executives are all still working...
wiltsjunk
And telecommunications workers!
cjpoet
Don't forget manufacturers.
Domehammer
You forgot pet stores as essential. Gotta feed your pets.
spgcorno
Can work from home vs. cannot work from home.
ILovedUnicornsFirst
You’re correct. But I’m not happy about it... Needed my horn tooted.
kcalam
Railway personnel
fleshlightqueef
What about meeeee?
UbiquitousPixel
It taught us that everyone thinks they are a scientist and they know more than you
OneUpperSteve
Utility workers...
SecretlyForeign
I feel like modern economies are too complex to comprehend. We're all ultimately essential and just because someone else's job doesn't 1/3
SecretlyForeign
fit your perceived standards, it doesn't mean they aren't important and that large numbers of people don't rely on them. Everyone's view 2/3
SecretlyForeign
is narrow. Understanding the limitations of your own perception is important to feeling gratitude in a situation like this.
AdmiralCranch
One of these groups is easy to replace due to the large pool of eligible candidates.

Domehammer
Wonder Gamestop will have 99% everything for sale since it will be going under completely because of this. Shutdown is plug pulling for it
Comet260
And nothing of value was lost.
Auronaku
Reggie Fils-Aime from Nintendo recently took a head chair for Gamestop. Hopefully he can turn change the company for the better.
Comet260
Methinks it's waaaay to late to save that company in it's current form.
ChickenROAR
Forgot one. Non essential = Gamestop CEOs
LurkingAtTheOffice
No no, they are essential retail! They said it themselves! They wouldn't put their employees in danger just for profit!
JReene
Need it in Essential and a sharpie circle and arrow to non.
JReene
There we go.
Threns
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSYBHMIZ1Q8 He's a goofy bastard, but he's got some pretty good stories
Nalianna
i'll give you $3.50.
IBentMyWookie
Probably can’t trade them in for something better :(
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Bwahaha!
TodayIsSlapANaziDay
All I can do is 3,50 for all of them
MrJelle
I'd be okay with just selling them for whatever amount of money is offered. They're used, after all.
BearUnhinged
Everyone forgets public bus drivers.... ? We drive sick people to the doctors.
baddream
ya in a big city public transportation is super important
ILovedUnicornsFirst
+1 for you bus driver man. I personally never take the bus, but I know a lot of people depend on you. You’re important.
BearUnhinged
BubbleGumNuggys
Don't forget ice machine repair and cleaning companies. Apparently we are essential. God forbid Karen can't get ice at Applebees to go
Noksus
Karens try to keep the world running. One manager at a time.
brakiachi
Yes suppliers and services to essential businesses are also essential
ClockworkMinds
I feel it. I'm an appliance repair tech. Heaven forbid Karen goes without ice
lotrmith
Or, you know, so that restaurants and grocery stores can safely pack seafood and meat and stuff.
downsouthfarm
A lot of people rely on ice to store food because they don't have refrigeration.
HillCountryRambler
Maintenance workers all the way.
electronicbovine
Ice is a critical component of strawberry daiquiris, which can be a foundational component of quarantine. Thanks for your service!
PatrickIsMySpiritAnimal
I prefer quarantini’s
CitrusGrenade
Orrrrr you're helping food safety and can be grateful you've got a job? No disrespect, but that's a shitty attitude. Cleaning is ABSOLUTELY
CitrusGrenade
essential, especially at a time like this. Y'all are helping keep the world running. Be proud. We're grateful.
GilderoyPopDropNLockart
I enjoy how in the middle of a pandemic medical workers are the last people on the list of essential employees
ace07spades8888
Save the best for last good sir
Inepthuntr
And researchers aren't even on it!
repliessnarkily
Banks are still considered essential businesses.

GhostOfRome
To be fair without stocks these buisness employing said people would just umm close.
thorrakistaken
No, a lot of them are still at their desks...

inxed
But not bankers
StooperDave
To be fair. The graphic did say wallstreet bankers, not mainstreet bankers.
BannedbyastupidMod
we have people in IT, working at these companies making sure they stay afloat as well
Mightymurph
As they should be. Banks include credit unions and anyone who makes your grocery purchases viable. They're essential.
Sociallyawkwardbutsometimesfunny
Are all bankers considered wall street bankers? I thought that just meant the elite market manager kind of people
Abhizzy
Banks have different functions - Investment Banking, Commercial, Corporate, Merchant, etc. Not all are “Wallstreet” - Wallstreet guy here
f3n1x187
yeah I don't know, the financial businesses just wiped a whole buch of money out of the 401k with so many crashes and banks will still take
f3n1x187
money out of the accounts of people that cannot afford to lose a single penny.
Becker37
Only in this made up fucking system. The world could live without bankers but life would be worse without the others
Koskun
Wall Street banker is not the same as a local bank.
isthatwhatthemustacheisfor
They still fund businesses that operate all over the country
urukhello
Kinda. If they solely trade in equities, for example, they contribute nothing of value (even IPOs are notoriously corrupt).
urukhello
Now *commercial banks* certainly are useful, but it’s not true at all that Wall Street has value to we peons.
isthatwhatthemustacheisfor
I guess it depends on what you mean by “Wall Street banker”
thatsmyfetish69
Banks are not people
FarkasMacTavish
No, but you can't have a bank without bankers. People to keep track of where the money goes and whose it is.
Rodrodington1
It's mostly automated
YouL0stTheGame
And who said anything to the contrary
thatsmyfetish69
Mitt Romney and the Citizens United case

As a "banker," we keep cash liquid and available. Our folk are braving the storm too. People need access to funds, we'll make it happen.
ThisIsNotANameItsASandwich
Fuck off rich boy
thesupersonic
So an atm...?
Patches3000
I could keep my cash liquid if I removed all of my funds from the bank?
Shigbeard
And then you ask for more in return, or charge fees for "administration"... look, bank workers are people, but the banks themselves arent.
RyanHaynes
I too, melt all my money
Ladris
As a banker, Just don’t put it in the microwave and you’re good!
mstrmrvn
Eh, the work is of a big majority done by computer. Thanks anyway for your part.
EmailFail
You be surprised how many actions require manual inputs.
ImOPsMom
Fuck off. Your useless negativity is not needed.
khora
If we really tried we could replace all banks with a computer.
f3n1x187
It could be done but not with any of the current financial technology, like every platform down to infrastructure level would have to be
f3n1x187
redone with security front and center.
Finduses
Not having to use cash is a big factor in limiting infection. Cash is dirty as fuck.
thegreatwhiteblackartblackestmaster
Yeah but they keep it liquid so it's sterile, probably.
LookHarder80085
Cash is about to useless as tits on a bull here shortly
Mightymurph
Ahem, they're called "cows" and "bullettes." and they EXIST do not SHAME m.. Ahem THEM. Asshole.
shivdog
thats the joke mate. bulls dont make milk so if they had tits they'd be useless
EmailFail
Cash need not be physical...
ArtSmarse
Ye Gods. People actually think they know better than a banker what cash is?
pooslap
Cash is literally a phyaical thing. U r an moran
Nukls
...and therefore, you’ve proven yourself obsolete.
aspoerl1
Wut?
GadenKerensky
The majority of money across the globe isn't even REAL in that sense. Much of it is even theoretical. Currency is a weird thing.
ThisIsNotANameItsASandwich
It's just a fucking number onna screen that has everyone enslaved, nonone can escape and it's not even fucking real
eightytwoeightytwoeightytwo
Banks yes. bankers no
SidneyHarbor
Yes and no. Obviously the financial markets still have to work or else all kinds of things absolutely break down in the modern world.
RayMC
"Hospitals yes, nurses no."
johnnywalkergold
Don't post stupid memes. Bankers are essential. Get your facts right
Comet260
They're talking about Wall Street bankers. Not your local branch manager.
Traja01
Yea we need those too thanks.
Comet260
No we don't.
Traja01
When you grow up and get a real job and stop being such an angsty 19 year old reading the manifesto for the first time you’ll understand.
Comet260
I do have a real job, thank you very much.
Lulabel73
My husband works in finance. He is still very busy because ordinary people have “retirement funds” that they need.
dorpjorp
He is probably stressed out hard because the markets are tanking. It's about guessing the bottom and positioning the upside at this point.
Lulabel73
He’s not stressed he can’t control that. He’s just keeping everything running.
yoyoyoyoyoyoykykyykykykyyk
I work in finance and we are working like mad. It’s not “essential” that we are at the office, but we are the reason people can retire...
Lulabel73
It’s just the usual workload. His office is closed for 5 weeks now and everyone is working from home.
yoyoyoyoyoyoykykyykykykyyk
Mines definitely much more. I’m in private equity so we are concurrently running 10 manufacturing companies trying to stay afloat
Lulabel73
Keep up the good work!
