IIRC, SpaceX and some of their suppliers were considered essential personnel during the early covid lockdowns.
- ZeroGravitas 8mo agoBecause they were essential? Or because SpaceX is run by someone who doesn't care if his workers die, is a Covid denying crank and has connections in the Trump admin?
- ortusdux 8mo agoIIRC, at the time they were the only US option to get people to and from the space station.
- Rebelgecko 8mo agoSame for ULA but afaik they still have a functional union
- lazide 8mo agoSo were the folks at my local subway. All ‘essential’ meant in this context was ‘gets screwed’.
