I think what they are really about is minimizing and transferring of risk. Unemployment insurance and business continuity insurance.

These easily riled up and exploited rubes are being driven by right wing interests to do their dirty work. They want window dressing support for reopen orders that do nothing but screw workers and small businesses.

The greedy asshats are tapping into that entitled sentiment to claim support for their disasterous decisions.

These folks are too stupid to see it.
