Trump announced a cut in the payroll tax. Yey!
Oh wait, I support Uber's petition against AB5, which aims to keep me an independent contractor, and hence make me ineligible for any of the relief just announced.
Oh well, it's all socialism, and I'm against all that, too. Hail to being an indentured servant, hail to Uber, now, where's my red hat?
#MAGA !

McDonald's employees want sick pay, coronavirus safety protocols

Hourly wage workers at McDonald's on Tuesday sought paid sick leave for those working at its US restaurants and an update to the safety protocols as coronavirus cases in the US rise.
The burger chain has not trained or given any guidelines on the epidemic, McDonald's cooks and cashiers associated with labor group Fight for $15 and a Union said in an e-mailed statement.
"McDonald's needs to step up and do everything it can to make sure workers like me are safe and that if we do get sick, we can take time off to get better without falling behind on our bills," she said.
The labor group asked the company to pay workers for any missed shifts if a McDonald's restaurant shuts down due to the spread of COVID-19.
McDonald's hourly worker wage varies from $7.25 to $15 based on the state.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Restaurant workers have for long complained about poor pay and working conditions, drawing support from politicians and Fight for $15, which has regularly targeted McDonald's, calling for higher pay and union rights for workers.
Their demands come close on the heels of Darden Restaurants, the owner of Olive Garden and Bahama Breeze chains, saying it would provide its hourly workers paid sick leaves starting Tuesday.
Over 600 cases and 26 deaths have been reported in the US due to the coronavirus. However, McDonald's has not issued an update on the potential financial impact on its home.
When the outbreak was first reported in China late last year, the company said in January it does not see a big financial hit as it only collected royalty fees from China.
It last week decided to cancel its biennial in-person worldwide convention, attended by operators from around the world and set to take place in a few weeks. It will now hold a digital convention.
"The company canceled a meeting of executives and franchisees, but it's not making any plans for us frontline workers, who cannot afford to take a day off without pay if we get sick," said Fran Marion, a McDonald's worker in Kansas City, Missouri.
McDonald's = Uber
Cook/cashier = drivers

That's factually incorrect. In their cases, McDonald's is their employer of record. As such, they are workers who can file for unemployment should McDonald's lay them off because they catch the virus or because the burger business is down. In CA, they can also file for temporary disability, should they contract COVID-19.
As a driver, and especially if you signed Uber's petition against AB5, Uber has no relationship with you other than an at-will contract to provide you leads, which they can rescind without penalty at any time. You're not eligible for unemployment if the rideshare business implodes, and you can't file for disability if you catch the virus. All you can do is park your car, lock yourself in your house, or beg for some bread at the Fwy offramp if you've gone through your savings and go hungry. And if you're old, you probably won't have anything saved for retirement, so all you can hope for is that your MAGA buddies don't turn on you when it's their taxpayer dollars keeping you alive when you're too frail or sick to work.

Only if you're poor. Otherwise it's called a "stimulus package." 👌🏿

Every Republican from Nixon to now has left office with a shittier economy than they inherited. The majority of the poorest states and counties are Republican strongholds.

Okay, now I'm genuinely confused. I thought Obama bailed out the banks https://www.commondreams.org/news/2...tax-cuts-five-largest-us-banks-have-raked-583 . Clinton created the housing mess with deregulation. And let's not forget Jimmy Carter bailing out Chrysler http://www.famousdaily.com/history/us-bails-out-chrysler.html. My point in all of this, is you're a fool if you think either party gives a crap about any of us who line their pockets with our spare change and pocket lint.
