Do productive lives matter more than unproductive ones?
I saw "productive lives matter" as a riff on the BLM movement, and I couldn't help but wonder whether that's a pure manifestation of America as a meritocracy (ha!) or just a passive-aggressive dig on the black community.

I think it is a dig on professional protesters.

I would say yes, but I'm sure that makes me horrible.
But, the fact that it drew a comparison with the BLM movement is HILARIOUS!
