If they were keeping the workplace as safe as they claimed, the wager would have been zero, or close to zero. In fact a third of the employees contracted covid and five died, and one could argue that the employees making the wager were partly responsible. So it seems more like a form of manslaughter than just callousness, although the lawsuit in question does not go that far but only alleged a series of workplace safety violations.
- legerdemain 6y agoConsidering that infection has erupted in the most highly secure place on Earth (the White House), it is highly dubious that the number of infections at this meatpacking plant would have been zero even in the best of circumstances.
- kadoban 6y agoSecurity has more dimensions than that implies. In some ways the White House is extremely secure. In terms of Covid, its security is awful. They don't even do the basics. Masks are explicitly discouraged, social distancing is inconsistent at _best_, etc. This comparison isn't very useful.
