I thought of it the other way:

Essential service workers are the service animals and the politicians are the disabled.

Intelligent disobedience may be required to prevent the politicians from walking us all off the edge of a cliff. They're clearly far too busy yelling into their respective echo chambers to see the cliff coming.

Agreed, except the point of them being unable to see the cliff. For me it's almost as if they consciously decided to test their freshly-baked algorithms of gainful cliff falling...
