The GOP fat-cat billionaire war on workers steps up
By Thom Hartmann A...
The latest Republican scam to screw working class people and help out their billionaire buddies has to do with "open the state" orders and Trump's executive order about meatpacking plants. The simple fact is that when governors and employers both say that the workplace is or can be open, workers no longer qualify for unemployment or other benefits if they are afraid to go to work.Because Trump's incompetence has left the nation without adequate testing, workers are forced to choose between possibly killing themselves or vulnerable members of their families on the one hand, or losing all their benefits, going hungry, and ending up homeless on the other hand.
The final middle finger that Republicans are giving workers and American consumers is a legislative attempt to outlaw the right of workers to sue employers or businesses for putting them in a situation where they might get sick and die. Seriously.
Republicans want workers to have all the responsibility and liability for deciding whether to go to work or to starve, without any good information from testing, at the same time the GOP wants to make sure that their fat-cat billionaire buddies and big corporations will never be held accountable and will be able to make even bigger profits by not having to pay unemployment benefits. It's time for a political revolution.

Masks work when all people wear them. Elbow bumps are not a good idea if you are telling people to cough into their elbow and not their hand.
Hurray for Costco requiring that customers wear masks. All stores should require it. Too bad this is 2 months late.
Trump wants rally's. Big ones. Best news that I have heard today.

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
