Poor Warriors Die In Service of the Rich

“The people of our country are warriors,” Trump said during a roundtable earlier in the day. “I’m not saying anything is perfect. Yes, will some people be affected? Yes. Will some people be affected badly? Yes. But we have to get our country opened and we have to get it open soon.”

Trump’s acknowledgement that reopening the country would likely cost lives represents a shifting White House calculus about risk and reward, given the economic hardship that the closure of most businesses in most states has caused over the past month.

I wonder how many Mar-a-Logo members are in the warrior ranks?  It seems that these are the warriors Trump is willing to sacrifice.

Transportation workers.

Heath care professionals.

Grocery store workers.
