So a listener emailed me and asked if I thought Trump & the #GOPDeathCult was doing a good job with the #CoronavirusPandemic economy
I said, NO
We then talked about what I wanted to see done right now and what I had hoped for in the #PostCoronaEconomy

Here is my thread.
Right now we must fight to protect, and pay our #FrontLineHeroes premium pay for risking their lives and their families.
Then we must recognize all workers are #EssentialWorkers and demand ALL workers and the work they do is treated with dignity and respect.
#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we must demand @OSHA_DOL enforces safe working conditions to protect our #FrontLineHeroes & their families
Then we must fight to keep all #EssentialWorkers safe by fully funding #OSHA and giving workers a #union voice on the job to protect themselves
#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we need emergency #Whistleblower protections to keep our #FrontLineHeroes safe and give them the power to speak out against deplorable/dangerous conditions

Then we fight to fully fund @OSHA_DOL in order to enforce protections and strengthen #unions
#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we must demand health insurance for our #FrontLineHeroes & their families
Then we must fight to end employer sponsored Heath Insurance by ensuring all #EssentialWorkers have the dignity of a high quality, affordable cradle to grave plan
#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we must demand subsidies for COBRA health insurance for all #Workers PERIOD
Families need coverage and shouldn't have to suffer due to our screwed up system

Then we abolish it. Save the money and fund cradle to grave coverage that never goes away
#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we need to make sure no one loses their #Pension
Then we fight to end corporate raiding & bankruptcy court slashing of pensions
Retirement security must be guaranteed
No one should lose their pension as a result of coronavirus or #WallStreet Greed
#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we need to continue the expansion of #unemploymentbenefits

Then we fight to strengthen #UnemploymentCompensation to give workers a solid footing when they lose a job thru No fault of their own.
Let's talk 80%+ of lost wages plus free job retraining
#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we need to stop taxing #unemploymentbenefits PERIOD

Ronald Reagan created the largest billionaire class in history thru massive tax cuts for the wealthy while simultaneously raising taxes on workers who lost their jobs.

This must end!

#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we need to waive all hour requirements for #FamilyMedicalLeave

Then we must fight to expand the number of workers covered and make it PAID leave like the rest of the industrialized world to care for a newborn, sick family member, or the individual
#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we must demand no worker loses income

Then we must fight to create a system that puts working people FIRST in line the next time, and every time thereafter, the economy is crashed by #Virus or #greed
No more Boom the wealthy and Bust for workers
#PostCoronaEconomy
Right now we must defend the #USPS and the @NALC_National and @APWUnational members who are our #FrontLineHeroes
Then we must fight to keep the USPS out of the hands of greedy profiteers
#USPS_is_essential
The Post Office is critical and MUST remain in the hands of We The People
Right now we must demand Trump use the Defense Production Act to produce #ventilators #PPENow and #MasksNow
Then we must fight to bring manufacturing capacity back to US by passing a National Strategic Security plan modeled after the Military's Berry Amendment
