The people doing the most, earning the least and exposed the most need money immediately. All the workers still on the job at restaurants, grocery stores hardware stores et al subject to the greatest degree of exposure should receive $20,000 right now and $5000 a week for the duration of the Covid-19 and at least 1 year past recovery time if they get infected.

To make matters even worse these workers seldom qualify for any employee benefits. And they are losing food stamps. I was thinking about the plight of these nameless heroes while checking out. After I paid for my groceries I gave the checkout girl a large tip and told her that was nothing compared to her risking her life to help keep the country running. She started crying almost hysterically and said she just lost her stamps. She kept asking if I was sure about the money. I’ve been through a lot in my life by choice and pretty much desensitized emotionally from anything. I was glad I had a face mask on because when she said she didn’t care and she was going to give me some sort of hug I could feel my eyes starting to water. Trump is funneling hundreds of billions into the market to protect billionaires while millions who have nothing are suffering.
