Yeah - housing and employment protections are too reasonable requests to get media attention.

Gotta get them clicks. This isn't out there enough to see coverage, it's just too reasonable. Hard to click-bait.

I think it also contributes to a kind of invisibility of the issue. People seem to passively think that all forms of job discrimination are illegal and don’t happen. It’s a significant part of why I don’t talk to family anymore.

Getting fired from gig work cleaning bird shit off bleachers because my drivers license had an “f” on it just isn’t a fun story. The survival sex work I resorted to afterwards might I guess.
