It’s a generous interpretation, but using prioritization to determine how best to help feels at least roughly accurate. We are, as a society right now, being pretty explicit about who we think is most valuable.


How else could it be interpreted?


Oh, I guess they could have meant as a way to pretend to be more valuable than they intended on being.

Signing up as a rideshare driver but offering no real rides, for example.


OP here, thats an odd interpretation

The plan is to actually have the job and its duties and fit in the classification. I dont want it to be counterproductive if I can also just wait. So there exists some essential worker jobs that dont really include being surrounded by aerosol spores all day.


I was asked what other interpretations could be and provided one. I wasn’t suggesting this was your intention, in fact I explained how it probably wasn’t in my comment directly prior.


> Which retail job can I get to bump me up the list on vaccination, but doesn't actually increase my exposure possibility?

Clearly the objective is getting the vaccine and not doing something for the greater good.


why don’t you think those are mutually inclusive?

there exists retail [essential worker] jobs that don’t currently expose you to alot of people

and would fit the categorizations created by the state

the same goes for health care professionals or education workers

surprising to see how much the consensus here is grasping. newsflash remote tech workers, you dont have to keep the same job or only one job and your circumstance may not actually be privileged


> why don’t you think those are mutually inclusive?

Because the question is not “Which retail job can I get to help things going on, but doesn't actually increase my exposure possibility?”.

It seems to me the motivation is only getting the vaccine, OP doesn't mention the will/objective to help.

OP didn't say "I want to help retail, how do I do it without getting exposed ?” ?

His objective is to get bumped on the vaccine list by going retail with the least exposure. That's literally his statement.

"triggered" ? I would have used "confused" but that choice of words seals the deal for me. also newsflash omitting capital letters and final stop don't make you sound cool good luck


“confused” by my syntax too
