So basically, your boss gets to decide if you die from COVID, no need to consult medical pros

That’s what tRump and the “reopen ASAP” idiots are saying.

No matter the chilling projections that cases and deaths will DOUBLE by June, no matter that NONE of these states are meeting tRump’s OWN GUIDELINES on when they should reopen. If your governor opens your state you MUST go back to work at the whim of your employer. Refuse to go back and you will lose your unemployment benefits. Doesn’t matter if you’re a fulltime employee with benefits up the wazoo and a private office or a part-timer on the assembly line making minimum wage with no health benefits, vacation, sick time, etc. If your boss wants you back on the floor where you’ll be coughed on by the virus deniers, you’re back on the floor or you’re sitting home with no income, no benefits, nothing.

It’s MAGAnificent!

If I were paranoid, it looks to me that one route may be the incentive of starvation.

That's because I notice missing items and low inventories of many foods at the store today.

Now, come on, we are up against capitalists and Republicans here. The type who make velociraptors look tame. We may be coming to a push comes to shove scenario when it comes to labor and our well being as in, whose more desperate, them or us?

They want to reboot their machine, we are losing our livelihoods and food supply, slowly but surely.

The thing is, its not negotiable, that is, unless we decide to make it that way before they manage to force us into a death machine for profit. Who is holding the cards in this game? The ante is getting very high.
