Trump could not force me back to work, even at gunpoint.

Fuck Trump. Trump is the biggest threat to our liberty during our lifetime. As an American, life under Trump is not life, Its death. That's how I feel, I cannot speak for other Americans.

The words of Patrick Henry ring loudly today. Give me liberty( from Trump) or give me death. As Americans, that's who we are.

while others return . Maybe with a union it could be done to continue a stay at home for workers
But other than that or self employed choices how will you pay your bills or eat?

Besides, the last C-19 relief bill only called for enhanced UC payments through the end of July.

I cannot collect unemployment and I am OK with that. If my boss called me and told me I must return to work or I will be fired. I would tell her to take the job and shove it up her ass sideways.
