Tiberius Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 For the first time since the 1970s oil crisis, Americans on a mass scale may be exposed to rationing, shortages, and long lines for a resource they consider essential to their lives. President Trump has responded by declaring meat-processing plants “critical infrastructure.” The White House will take all appropriate action to “continue operations” at meat-processing plants, he has vowed. It’s unclear what those actions might involve. Sick workers will not be able to return. Health workers may not feel safe returning to the line. Meat processing is an industrial affair, and workers are trained to follow health regulations and learn manual skills that can’t be transferred to new recruits in a moment, or to National Guardsmen drafted into service in the plants. ? https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/coronavirus-crisis-meat-shortages-alarm-americans-threaten-trump-reelection/

Tiberius Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Wow, that is mean spirited and wrong GOP-led states signal they could strip workers’ unemployment benefits if they don’t return to work For some states, the concern is that residents who are offered their old jobs back simply may not accept them, choosing instead to continue tapping historically generous unemployment aid.

By Tony Romm Finally we agree on something. That is mean spirited. If they don't take their old job back they should be stripped of their benefit. I remember years and years ago I was on unemployment and they asked me every week if I looked for work and if I didn't they could strip the benefit away. Oh waaaaiiiiiit a minute. You're saying the STATES are mean spirited?? Never mind.

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 There was a question asked today at the presser if Trump was at all worried about the generosity of that extra $600 of unemployment under the CARES act, and if it would be extended past the end of July? Trump mentioned that indeed that was a concern, and why they tried to have to redone (remember Lindsey Graham trying to get that rewritten when they figured it out? He's not having an extension), but the Democrats were having none of it. They wanted the unemployed to be able to earn more than when they were working. And an anecdotal story... we were supposed to have our windows washed earlier this month. The owner called the day before to reschedule (NYS had asked them to), and he mentioned to me that he was having a difficult time getting guys to work as they were making more on unemployment. It does happen. 3

I have a good friend in GA who took a job stocking shelves in Walmart even though she could make more on unemployment because as she put it "she can't stand sitting around being unproductive." That's the American spirit! 4

It was really a voting bribe, as in vote for us and we can get you more of this.

It does happen. The county my friend works for furloughed anyone who made less than $57,000 per year, so that they could make more on unemployment than they did working, and so that the money being paid to the workers not to work wasn't coming from the county's funds. It will be interesting to see how many come back, especially since Albany is talking about reducing all state contracts (including grants used to fund positions) by up to 20%.
