    This is just brutal class warfare -- using the threat of destitution to force workers (mostly immigrant people of color) to do life-threatening jobs.https://twitter.com/ScottImmordino/status/1255231572233551872 …

    Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) said in her state, it will be considered a “voluntary quit” if an employee refuses to return to work once businesses reopen, thereby losing access to unemployment benefits. A similar situation will soon play out in Texas. https://mavenroundtable.io/theintellectualist/news/states-warn-that-workers-will-lose-unemployment-if-they-refuse-to-return-to-jobs-vbq1clsQ6USCAmgeoeym4w …

        But people won't do anything about it, so it continues. I mean isn't our whole culture based on trashing the bottom of the ladder so we can feel like "they deserve it?" Or just pretending the ladder has no bottom and that our food gets picked by magic.

        most immigrants aren't counting on unemployment insurance, but, yeah, many will continue to work these jobs. they have already risks their lives and safety to get these jobs, gone into serious debt. the jobs they do are already physically harmful.

        That’s capitalism, alright. People forget what it was like before Roosevelt invented the modern social welfare state. They only remember the good parts, and forget about the bad parts, and wind up voting republican.

        And it would take SO LITTLE to say "we recognize what you do is CRITICAL," and, aside from more PPE (which they won't get, you know) get the Army Corps and other experts to go in and redesign for safety and health. Because The Future. 🤬

        This is now straying into crimes against humanity territory . The morality of mortality, played out against the backdrop of this crisis, has laid bare these glaring fault lines. Perhaps this is a segue to a fairer, more humane world in the aftermath of this disaster?
