It has been a while since Broadway is back with their plays and plenty of others. It was among the first things shut down during the pandemic and is one of the last to reopen. Many might wonder why we should care about a multi-million dollar industry being shut down for so long. After all, they could just find work considered essential that would work instead, right?
Well, that’s not how I feel it should be how people feel. After all, you’d probably feel worse for someone who temporarily lost their job during the pandemic than you would for someone who was more well off beforehand. Well, I think that we should feel bad for Broadway and its loss of revenue over the past year and a half. After all, we’d feel bad over the others who weren’t able to work, right?
People forget just how hard it is to find certain work and jobs over the course of time. They just dismiss the poor as lazy or think that those on unemployment as the really rich ones. While Steve Harvey was never on Broadway, I doubt he thinks of the days of him living in his car as the good times that he would want to relive. And while those on Broadway never lost as much as they could have, it was still quite bad that they couldn’t do what they are good at and like to do.
With so many jobs going away and never returning, it would not be good for one of the most well known to disappear forever. There have been lots of problems with the world today and it is hard to keep track of everything. But we should feel bad for the time that the lights went out on Broadway, even if they now shine brightly again.
