I'm confused (again)--if corporations are people, how do they put on their masks?

Sorry, needed to relieve stress from earlier post in IOWA forum, and I suspect those antipsychotic medications may have been for Mom's mild disorientation, and not my "caregiver" stress.

Tyson, if this is true--your done

Workers at Waterloo, IA Tyson's food corp have reported people working while showing respiratory symptoms of COVID-19. They are afraid of losing jobs, many do not speak English, and some may be of questionable legal status. Per Waterloo Courier article 4/16/20 It just gets worse as you read the article--workers claim people are being allowed to come to work sick, the management knows they are sick, but all fear losing their jobs---The state dept of public health says not enough cases in Waterloo plant to declare outbreak, but workers indicate actual cases are more than enough.--workers and managers, (on condition of animosity) claim at least 5 cases, which exceeds state standards--Much information in article from People's Community Health Clinic in Waterloo, Which serves many non-English speaking workers--officially People's Clinic declined to confirm, but medical staff apparently sounded the alarm.....................And now for the absolute fucking worst possible news--tho Tyson's disputes the claim--numerous employees have claimed that many of the new cases came from workers who were moved from plant in Columbus Junction, Iowa. Operations at Columbus Junction have been suspended since APR. 6.......The charge is Tyson's either allowed the workers to move, or had them moved, from a plant CLOSED BECAUSE OF A COVID-19 OUTBREAK. No quarantine time in between. Yea, that's how you SPREAD a virus (or almost any other pathogenic outbreak) Will ask fellow Iowegians to help monitor this story. If this last act turn out to be true, I would suggest heavy fines, and yanking TYSON's permit to operate ANY slaughter plants in Iowa.

Here's an idea from a 16 yr old niece

Why can't the Whitehouse press conferences be staffed with only women reporters? They seem to get the best (most videoed) responses................I knew she wasn't as innocent as her mother claimed.

Dear Little Lord Tiny Hands,

and any other so called leaders, pillars of community, self appointed righteous piety police. (Republicans) please spend less than 20 min of your time to view the following film. Then please explain what you think the film means. Their are no wrong or right answers, just insights to your beliefs. If you are concerned this is a trap, remember many of us had to watch and respond to this film as school children, (still believe it's a good idea) Many of us did this while still in elementary school. Now if we could do it, surely our leaders, those who claim to know what's best for us, those who dream of rising to save us from our selves, should not have qualms about this request. feel free to please tweet and share request on your favorite social media ...............

Easter; When Christianity shows us their Whole Family

Many of various faiths are wonderful, compassionate, thoughtful, caring, giving people. Many exist, even on this board, living lives of meaning and love of humanity rooted in their religious belief. But like any family, religions, (ALL OF 'EM), have certain members or relatives which are crazy, hateful, cruel, arrogant, and downright nincompoops. The vast majority are embarrassed by these individuals, but say nothing. In religion, these bizarre cousins, weird aunts, cruel uncles seem to be growing, (again in all religions) and without restraint from the rest of their family. We even have one political party which embraces and encourages these groups. GOP--God...Over...People. I ask only that we acknowledge the freedom of religion applies to all of us--equally. And lookout for the crazies!

Dear POTUS, Just say "I was WRONG, I apologize, I'll do my best to fix it"; Here I'll show you how

Dear DU, recently I posted a thread saying POTUS needed to KEEP TALKING at his daily pressers, so we could document his lies.........After seeing today's example of lies and misinformation I realize I was SO VERY WRONG. I deeply apologize. I've worked around agriculture as a so called "expert" at several times, in several small very focused fields. (trust me I's ain't no x'prt on nuthun) There is misinformation which is annoying, and that which is FUCKING DEADLY. When Donald Trump starts recommending medication to take, w/o any scientifically backed, or medically cleared--peer reviewed studies--that's it. Hydroxychloroquine is a potent drug w/ serious potential side effects under the best of circumstances. I've personally had , yrs ago, experience trying to stop customers from making a shortcut with a product we were selling. The individual who started this shortcut was not informed in this area, and though well known, was not considering possible unintended consequences. But that problem only involved a PRODUCT---NOT PEOPLES LIVES! Donald Trump needs to be told by his cabinet to stop treating these pressers as a campaign event, step back and let the experts dispense the information, and stay the fuck out of the way or they'll invoke the 25th amendment. Again, I was wrong, Donald Trump continuing to speak is just too damn dangerous. Sorry...............(that's how you do it Donald).........the end

OK, TIME TO RELEASE YOUR INNER CRUEL DOMINATING SELF-for therapy--(sort of)

So our president, Commander in Twit, upon disclosure of recommendation to wear a mask-(please, cloth only-leave medical grade for MEDICAL WORKERS) has decided to forego the recommendation and not wear a mask--what is our beloved nation to do?! Never mind the lack of leadership--this is a time for a little therapy. Please list what Donald J Trump should wear, (or not), and why.....................for example I'd suggest a BDSM BALL GAG--WHY?--well deep down we all know he is truly a BOTTOM--(MELANIE's just a rubber bustier and 6in spiked heeled thigh boots away from the top she truly is)...............no offense to either persuasion, but o' to have her WHIP HIM!.....................enjoy

M..A..G..A.

halfway thru morning chores it finally hit me---MAGA---stands for MAKE ALL GROVEL AGAIN--this of course after watching Kushner,(the protégé) and Donald the "Master of Disaster related Grifter" If you, you trite, worthless, little people, want REAL MEDICAL SUPPLIES---then not only must you pay--but you must pay HOMAGE.............(never mind it's OURS to begin with, we bought it, will pay for it, we just want it shipped!) It's either that or MAGA stands for MAKE AMERICA GASP AGAIN---don't want to think on that one
