On Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote a letter to the Trump administration demanding paid sick leave requirements for workers impacted by COVID-19.
Don’t hold your breath. With tRump as someone in the hospitality industry I wouldn’t count on it. tRump has always run his own properties on the cheap, and paying people while being sick…well, I just can’t see it happening. Let’s just say he already has an inherent conflict of interest in deciding to go that route. Just one more of many however.
And then you’ll hear the Right screaming SOCIALISM and THIS Is why the Dems shouldn’t be in charge of anything. Not anything. Never. No. Throw them out and stop spending money on people who won’t pick themselves up by their bootstraps…
And when Trump takes steps to protect the bottom line of corporations and try to fix the stock market plunges, while doing nothing to protect the health and financial security of working people, telling us all that this is the best way to attack the coronavirus hoax …
His true minions will nod in unison., while coughing all over the buffet at Golden Corral and into the produce at Walmart.
for workers who “may lose their jobs from the economic impacts of the epidemic
This has already happened in the Seattle area. A catering company laid off its entire work force due to cancelled events and conferences. It will happen soon all over the country. I am glad Nancy and Chuck are on this.

The White House has faced intense pressure to arrest falling markets and stabilize an economy that investors increasingly fear may tip into recession. Many Democrats, meanwhile, are insisting that the government implement paid sick leave policies to help Americans who are forced to stay home because they are sick.
Consider this: if he grants ANY of the options, it’s a tacit acknowledgment that something is REALLY wrong. He only wants good news with respect to the virus. By blocking testing, there won’t be any bad news as to how many people are truly affected.
If he grants any of those policy options, it makes his refusal to allow for testing even worse than it already is.
“Sir, how can we all learn to change our lifestyle so as to be immune to coronavirus and all other disease, and be in superman-like health like you? Or is that just a hereditary thing that comes with being born without a soul?”
I did receive an email from American about their coronavirus response, so maybe they missed you, or maybe it was buried in the emails about cruises and other travel opportunities from them…
