The next generation of politicians will tell stories about how their parents were nurses, scientists, teachers, and other healthcare workers. Today’s go-to stump speeches about how their mom or dad worked in a factory will be replaced with a COVID-19 or global warming yarn. Healthcare workers, climate change scientists, and the “essential worker” class will be something that every politician has to identify with and seek approval in the new battle ahead.
