Aw the 1%. How I love to hate them. Three friends have been laid off from companies since Friday here in SW VA. Manufacturer, furniture store and a white collar company. I dare say this is going on all over America.

No sick days for them anymore.

Capitalism can suck as the profits are protected but while the stock market tanks...?

Meanwhile back at the ranch Trump gives himself a 10 and Moscow Mitch asks Federal judges to retire so Trump appointees can take their places.

I have to say, we are in quick sand and it don't look good that Tarzan is arriving with super strength and a log to pull us out.

Very devious to use the usually kind nature of the employees for them to put themselves at risk by giving up their own sick leave benefits when Amazon is profitable well beyond the grasp of many of us. Bezos has the financial clout to have all his employees tested to gauge how safe the place is to shop--it would be a good business strategy in places like California, where so many are now under "shelter at home" orders in the Bay Area and Santa Cruz. I know they can be exposed and sickened after such testing, but at least there would be a baseline and ability to address who should be working and who should be home on Netflix.
