To stop the spread of the coronavirus, personal responsibility won't be enough. We also need CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Amazon was very tricky and tried to change the language to make it seem like they were never asking for donations but luckily we have screenshots and the whole thing was exposed
Why aren't you reading about a massive company like Amazon, with over 280B in revenue, soliciting public donations to pay sick workers in every news outlet

Because Amazon's highly paid PR flaks have convinced a bunch of outlets that it had NO OTHER CHOICE

Which is not true

1. For millions, the most convenient place to get supplies during the pandemic isn't a supermarket but @DollarGeneral

I obtained the company's COVID-19 sick leave policy and it's bad

Worse, almost everyone who works @DollarGeneral has never heard of it

popular.info/p/a-dollar-sho…
@DollarGeneral 2. Except where required by law, @DollarGeneral does not normally provide paid sick leave

During the pandemic it will pay workers for two weeks only if they (or a member of their household) test positive

popular.info/p/a-dollar-sho…
@DollarGeneral 3. @DollarGeneral's internal policy says if workers are "indirectly exposed" to COVID-19 they should be encouraged to report to work if they aren't displaying symptoms

What does "indirectly exposed" mean?

The policy doesn't say

1. Amazon, owned by the richest man in the world, is soliciting PUBLIC DONATIONS to pay sick leave for contract drivers who contract COVID-19

This is not a joke

popular.info/p/amazon-solic…
2. Amazon has one of the worst policies for workers who contract COVID-19. Requires a positive test or a formal quarantine order to get paid.

But contractors have it even worse. They have to apply for a "grant" from the Amazon Relief Fund.

popular.info/p/amazon-solic…
3. Amazon gave $25 million to the Amazon Relief Fund and then solicited donations for more.

Apparently someone realized this looked bad so later they added language saying the "aren't expecting" anyone to donate.

BREAKING: Palace confirms Prince Charles has tested positive for #COVIDー19.
Although people are rightly angry there are not enough tests for NHS and other key workers, the notion the Prince of Wales should not have been tested is ludicrous. I detest the monarchy as a system of gov’t, but he is - rightly or wrongly - the successor for Head of State.
As a side note, I’m sure that Queen to Windsor, Charles to Birkhall, William to Amner etc. is part of a fairly strict, formalised plan to separate the succession line, in emergencies like these, rather than all of them deciding to give a bad example and take a holiday.

I will be summarizing the following video which discusses current topics. I found the video relevant because it discusses the wide range of what we are watching play out before our eyes. Please share this thread.

80 federal, state and local law enforcement officials in #Virginia arrested drug traffickers. They are SHUTTING DOWN the cartels/traffickers which is all part of the circle of elite/globalist take-down.
We know that Fauci lied in Congress about Encephalitis in #vaccines and we know about the email in 2013 about #HRC. In this video, it is suggested that maybe #Fauci has "flipped". A lot of politicians are flipping, giving up and talking. It's possible.

"Who wants to go to the dentist or the hospital during an outbreak if a visit isn’t necessary? Yet health spending is 17 percent of the U.S. economy — more than triple the proportion spent in China."
"Agriculture, a sector not noted for day-to-day social interaction and so potentially less harmed by social withdrawal, is a 10 times larger share of China’s economy than it is in the United States."
"For all the talk about the global 'supply shock' set off by the coronavirus outbreak and its impact on supply chains, we may have more to fear from an old-fashioned 'demand shock' that emerges when everyone simply stays home."

The cliché cover photos have even become a meme of sorts for Asian Americans and westerners, with people from many backgrounds throwing their hat into the ring with corona aesthetic ™
Last Monday, a young Singaporean man — Jonathan Mok — was assaulted in an unprovoked hate crime on Oxford Street in London. The men reportedly yelled “I don’t want your coronavirus in my country.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/m… Image
I don't know why the man in Flushing collapsed, but he doesn't look much older than Jonathan Mok, and as we approach this pandemic, I am given a little hope in that — unlike China's lifeless pariahs on the streets — people came to help in America. ImageImage
