Dying for your pork chops

Let's just close all of our food plants, as Kevin wants.  After all, if it saves one life from corona, it's worth it to Kevin.


If you employed your limited reading skills, you would read in my prior post that I recommended continuing to operate the plants, but with much more robust physical and legal protections for employees.

 

But you know what, Boiler?.A single human life IS worth all the corporate profits in the world. That's one way my morality differs from your immorality.

 

And stop with the lying bullshit "Kevin says." If your arguments are so strong, you shouldn't have to set up a straw man. You're as limp-dicked as Stalker in your inability to argue.

Kevin sets up another paper tiger with his "a single human life" declaration.

And if the employers violate the terms of the above, Republicans want to excuse them from any civil or criminal liability.

 

You might as well print it on toilet paper. Wait, that's not right. Toilet paper is useful.


Maybe some employers violate them, or maybe not.  I have't toured all of them, and neither have you, I would venture to guess.  Write about what you know, Mister, not what you want us to believe without credible evidence.

 

My point (researched) is that the well being of employees of such plants has been and is considered and provided for by our government.

 No profits, no jobs.  No jobs, no money.  No money, no food.  It's a simple concept, so please try to keep up, Kevin.  Contrary to what Kevin thinks, government does not create money and wealth.  People need to work for this to happen.

Don't be such a Trumper, Candy. You're a better person than that.

 

I was making a perfectly valid point. Conservatives are talking about "acceptable" additional deaths from opening up. Who gets to, or should, make that decision? At what point are additional deaths acceptable as long as shareholder value is preserved? Ten thousand? Fifty thousand?

 

If it's you or a loved one who dies, it's not 0.01%. It's 100%. Stalin agreed with Republicans when he said that a million deaths is a statistic.

 

Of course, I've already been called every name in the book for having this terrible opinion, and will be again. I value human life. I've lost two friends to the Trump virus and two others are in the hospital.

 

So, Candy, that's my "paper tiger," and you and your Trumper friends can crap on me all you want.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The same government that ordered them to go back to workplaces with hundreds of known infections and dozens of deaths? Told them they would be ineligible for unemployment and would lose their jobs if they stayed home for the trivial reason that they didn't want to risk death?? THAT government?

I didn't accuse anyone of breaking the rules, so I'm going to assume you were just being a careless reader.

 

What I said was that your nice rules are worthless unless courts can enforce them. And Republicans want to eliminate employer liability if someone gets sick or dies due to a situation that should have reasonably been foreseen. You know, strict liability laws that were around since before we were a colony.

 

If you think employers should be able to get away with it just say it. Own it. But please, stop sniping from the sidelines.

I've asked Kevin how many deaths are worth it to keep our economy going.  He tells us none.  As if no jobs creates food.  As if no money leads to hope.  As if no jobs lead to cars.  Wealth creation leads to jobs, to money, to roofs and to food.  Excessive borrowing eventually leads to long term sorrow.
