Where does it say "critical"? It seems to me like you replaced the word "essential" with "critical".

It does here, for example:

https://covid19.ca.gov/essential-workforce/

> In accordance with this order, the State Public Health Officer has designated the following list of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers to help state, local, tribal, and industry partners as they work to protect communities, while ensuring continuity of functions critical to public health and safety, as well as economic and national security.

Nope, critical is attached to infrastructure there, not to workers.

And I’m responding to

> Blocking critical infrastructure is illegal

and pointing out that there are an enormous number of things which were labeled critical infrastructure during the pandemic, like any store that sells food.

You’re splitting hairs in an unhelpful way which distracts from the point entirely.

Both words are tools of propaganda nowadays. Define them to leave no doubt and I'll change my mind.
