McConnell’s pay-to-play payback
Republican “screw-the-covid-victims” outline appears. Hard to know where to begin.
1. Do you mean to shut down workers compensation, or lawsuits over workers comp coverage? Good luck with that.
2. Why, when it’s most dangerous, do you lower standards for employers and venues?
3. I’d like a look into the “procedural” bag of tricks to see how that screws victims.
4. BTW, what standards? OSHA/Labor have zero enforceable covid standards.
5. And yes, this is the erstwhile “states‘ rights” party trying to move all cases to federal court (that was then, this is now?), where those corporation-loving Trump judges await.
PS: Solution in search of a problem — as of Fourth of July exactly zero covid cases filed in R.I.’s trial courts, Superior, District or Family.
Last covid bill, Republicans stuffed in $100 billion in personal tax giveaways for individuals making over a million dollars a year.
Mitch McConnell insists not on solving problems, but on tribute for his big donors — it’s pay-to-play payback now for big corporations negligent about health in a pandemic, and for liability insurers.
