Wow...McConnell is the walking definition of a corporate sellout. At least his ex-wife and daughters probably hate his guts. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/04/20/how-mitch-mcconnell-became-trumps-enabler-in-chief
Have had conversations already with my wife that if we re-open this summer and an employee gets Covid, do we have liability exposure? I don't think we'd be at much actual risk of getting sued by an employee over it, but it probably would put upward pressure on insurance premiums if the exposure is theoretically there. But, I don't think we need Congress to do anything to insulate us or other businesses. There's enough hurdles in workers' way already, and probably some should be taken down. You want to leave some company risk in place so that they are incentivized to do the best they can to avoid making their workplace an infection bomb.
Trickle Down system -> Trickle Down assistance All of these small things, if you take them in isolation seem eminently reasonable, you'll find some centrist oriented person willing to say "well, it's a hard question, you have to balance x with y." and it's not wrong. It's a hard question. But these questions have a way of gettting resolved in our society. Add them all up and it's no contest, because one side is able to buy its own laws and regulation, and one is not, then you get the LA Lakers looting the PPP, the financial industry emerging more rapacious than ever after 2009, and all of the rest of the horrible **** that is being laid bare about our failure of a system
So you're telling me that I need to work on order to get health insurance coverage but if I get sick from work and become crippled or even die by it, I won't be able to use said health insurance? Seems the obvious answer is to start a biz "by the bootstraps" from the unlimited funds left by my rich daddy. /EntitledBoomerLogic
