Why is PPE so expensive and why aren’t workers getting it?

This is the question we answer in the first in a series of essays looking at the post-pandemic landscape from a revolutionary and anti-capitalist perspective, written by members of Black Rose/Rosa Negra
PPE vs Profit during a Public Health Crisis (1/4)
(2/4) “Because the distribution of PPE is about making the biggest profits and serving the highest bidder, the impact of COVID-19 has been much worse”
(3/4) “All essential workers helping people meet basic needs through food production and consumption, sanitation, and healthcare should have top quality PPE...and hazard pay for their extra contributions.”
(4/4): “A society where the economy is collectively organized by workers according to the needs of the communities they live in could change production to reflect a crisis like this...The only way to truly achieve this is through organizing towards revolutionary change”
