We don’t have the kinds of protections that most developed countries have for their workers. We have constitutionally protected free speech but if you’re carrying a political sign on a sidewalk and you stop walking you can be arrested. The arrest can make you lose your job. There’s no unemployment or health care if you lose your job. People have families and kids. There’s no social safety net. People miss two paychecks and they can’t eat. You can lose your house.
The stakes here are much, much, much higher than they are for you.

Every country goes through this. We’ll come out the other side like everyone else.

I’m worried about the rest of us.
