‘They don’t care’: US Supermarket Chain Shutters Stores After Hazard Pay Rules
27th March 2021
The Guardian is irate.
Kroger, the largest supermarket chain in the US which makes hundred of millions of dollars in profits, is shutting down grocery stores and laying off scores of employees in response to local hazard pay rules for essential workers even as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage.
Reality is what sticks around ever after you quit believing in it. Politicians think that they can ignore elementary economics and just hand out other people’s money with impunity.
Proglodytes, of course, think THAT’S JUST TOTALLY UNFAIR:
“Why are they punishing us?” said Hernandez. “If it weren’t for us they couldn’t run the stores. As a person we have value. As workers we have value. They don’t seem to care about you as a human being. They don’t care.”
