The latest from the Hartmann Report:

~snip~

Imagine you’re living in a Red state making their $7.25 an hour minimum wage and your employer says you have to work in an environment where rightwing maskholes routinely confront you as sport.

On top of that, by refusing to get vaccinated or wear a mask, they’re spreading a deadly disease that causes dementia in as many as a third of the people who get it and survive.

And if you’ve been paying attention you know that the largest variable leading to breakthrough infections appears to be the intensity of your exposure to the virus. Somebody yelling at you through a mask isn’t all that likely to break through, but somebody without a mask? All bets are off.

Is it worth it?

These Red states are also all “Right To Work For Less” states, meaning the people quitting have no union protections and nobody watching their backs in the workplace. And there isn’t always a guy willing to punch out a maskhole handy.
