lower the high horse and give credit due

Happy Labor Day to Americans on this part of the continent and our two outlying states. To anyone who is or ever has been an employee: Your employer would not be in business without your help and capabilities. You deserve a livable wage for helping attract revenue, time off to recharge your brain, the ability to be treated when you're sick so you can get back to work and life, and an education so you have the best chance of matching your talents to the right employer (and they, to you, for maximum business earning potential). And even if the job you're doing is menial or simple, you doing it means somebody will be helped; it'd be a lot less pleasant an existence if nobody picked up the garbage or stocked grocery shelves to make food easy and quick to find and cleared out the expired stuff.
