(63,221 posts)It is criminal that these workers are not provided with the PPE to keep them safe in their line of work. How is it, that in the richest country in the world we cannot seem to manage this simple task? It's just insane. People working for minimum wage should not be expected to put their lives on the line for this. Is it too much to ask to give them basic protective gear?
RIP, young lady. I am so sorry you had to die for the sake of greed and incompetence.
