Says that it's safe to open my business if I do this, this and this. And I, as a business owner, do these things and my employee gets sick and can't sue me....can they sue the Trump Administration?

I was thinking the exact same thing. This overturns existing federal law and a unanimous Supreme Court decision.

Anyone who doesn't share their sick worldview deserves to be punished, apparently.

Not gonna happen. But of course the best way would be for the voters to vote him out in November.

What an appalling typo, thanks for pointing it out. I think my brain got stuck trying to decide between "aren't being" and "haven't been" and I ended up splitting the difference.

These are the conservative economic thinkers who view labor as just another component of production. It doesn't matter to them if they're expendable as long as it's cheaper and makes more profits for the capitalist class. And then they accuse Democrats of class warfare!

We have our bastards on this side of the border too, mind you.
