Mike Braun - did you hear him - that was frightening

We don't want our business owners to have to compete with the government for our employees...they're offering them more than we pay them.

We know how they think normally but this is how they think during a pandemic.
These are monsters.

Or protect yourself and starve.

Do Republicans have the slightest idea of what real leadership looks like? Because it looks like they've just plain given up on the country.

These are the so=called pro-life men and women.
These are not the people's representatives. They work for business. For them the market has replaced society. They are vile and cruel - hope there's an ad with this monster ASP.

Capitalists exist to make profit by looting other people's lives and the earth..

Capitalism is a cruel inhuman system by default . It's insane to run the world on the basis of profiteering.

The moment your employer says, your job is back, you come back to work or lose benefits.

I'm not sure why Durr didn't just point this out.

Fight like hell against raising the minimum wage then during a pandemic when its proposed to temporarily raise unemployment to a living wage... "but then people won't want our shit paying jobs!"
