Except conditions were worse when he wanted to open his factories. We have vaccines now, COVID is more endemic than pandemic, and the current variants don't have the punch of the initial strains. He's trying to play "gotcha". Either they do care about COVID and grant his request or they've been lying the whole time about COVID. But that's a false dichotomy. He's betting on the court not saying "You're being disingenuous about your concerns" or "Our protocols for COVID have changed due to X, Y, and Z, so there are no more exceptions". He believes he can play semantic games to get out of doing things. Because that's worked for him in the past. But the only reason that worked for him in the past is because of money. The people he used it on had no recourse against his resources. He's running into the hard wall of reality most of us run into a long time ago. He's finally up against someone who has even more resources than he does.
