One week ago, a court in California ruled that employers cannot be sued for spreading COVID to their workers due to lack of protections.

This week, In-N-Out banned their employees from wearing masks.

This is horrible.

A $400 billion company just sued scientists for their peer-reviewed research revealing a safety issue, but there's been total silence from all the prominent anti-vax and anti-cancel culture people.

Gosh, it's like they're all just fronts for right-wing billionaires.

Megacorp execs were interviewed about the #WGA strike & were quoted saying their goal was to "break the WGA," and to drag things out "until #union members start losing their apartments and homes"

After corporate counsel reminded the execs of *labor laws*, an update was released saying that actually the execs did not want to make workers homeless in retaliation for exercising labor rights because that would violate #labor laws so its all a big misunderstanding

The secret is access to health care. It's always access to health care.
