When Trump asked business leaders for feedback on re-opening the economy, this was one of the primary issues discussed.
"Major U.S. business lobbying groups are asking Congress to pass measures that would protect companies large and small from coronavirus-related lawsuits when states start to lift pandemic restrictions and businesses begin to reopen."

- illumin8 6y agoIt's pretty telling who the government really cares about. When ordering the meat packing plants to stay open in the midst of the pandemic, the top concern voiced by Trump was not about worker health and safety but about corporate liability for any lawsuits.

- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoThere are at least a few foods besides meats
- fooker 6y agoWhat form of food can be produced by employees working from home?
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoAny job that essential should have staff living on site in full isolation. Conditions may even be better for many migrant and illegal farm hands.
- cameronbrown 6y agoYou really think things will be better when there's no food to go around?
- illumin8 6y agoI think people will be fine if they don't eat meat for a little while. They will not be fine if they die from Covid-19.
- cameronbrown 6y agoYou're not considering second order effects. Massive, instantaneous changes in diet are not healthy.. what if that ends up making people more susceptible to illness? Not to mention those workers are out of a job if the plants go bankrupt. And no, "printing money" isn't a solution.
