Trump signs ExecuTION order forcing meat plants to reopen.

That tells me the owners of the plants will order their workers back to work under the threat of death. Exactly how long are the American people going to let Trump kill them?

1. What's he going to do send the police to the homes of these people?

There is no chance this can be enforced. It’s interesting trump uses the governments power to kill people.

2. This is a very important moment.

I am waiting to see how the tens of thousands meat plant workers respond to this threat.

3. A lot of them in the rust belt voted for the orange.

4. I think you are right. He may be able to force the plants to reopen but he cannot force people to

come in to work. But unfortunately there probably are people who really need the money and they will probably come back.

6. Yea if you dont show up you're fired

10. Probably true. But if I had to choose between my life and employment I would choose

life. Of course it's easy for me to sit here behind my keyboard and type that. If you have hungry mouths to feed and rent or mortgage payments to make it's not so easy.

7. You are right

Desperate people trying to figure out how to feed their families will go back to work. The threat of ending their unemployment compensation, before there is an effective treatment, is government extortion.

Trump should be ordering OSHA to ensure that the plants properly protect the employees, but that would cut into profits.

I would pay more to know that the workers handling my meat are healthy, but that is just me.....

9. Plus with many states' unemployment systems overburdened a lot of people cannot get

through to claim benefits.

8. Screw trump

I just stopped eating meat from any of these plants again. I'll get it locally from individuals.
