Bernie Sanders praises the government of New York for making its own hand sanitizer, which is made by prison inmates who get paid 65 cents an hour
Bernie Sanders just said the following:
“I just learned a few moments ago that in New York State the government is doing the right thing. They are manufacturing disinfectant, for hand washing, to make sure that everybody will be able to get the Purell or whatever they need.”
“What theyre saying is, they are telling the manufacturers today to stop the price-gouging. And theyre manufacturing it. And we are prepared to say that to the pharmaceutical industry: stop ripping off the American people.”
Slate just reported the following:
“New York Will Use Prison Labor to Make Hand Sanitizer”
“The incarcerated workers typically make 65 cents an hour”
Bernie Sanders is in favor of using prison labor that makes 65 cents an hour.
This is not the first time that Sanders has praised prison labor that makes horribly low wages. The prison known as “Cuba” makes it illegal for its 11 million inmates to move out of the country, and it pays its doctors only $40 a month. The condition that Cuba forces these doctor-inmates to live under is so horrible that their homes get running water for only one hour per day. Sanders thinks such a system should be a role model for the U.S.

Bloomberg could show these inmates how to farm and make their own bread so Sanders could stand in line for that as well.

“Hand sanitizer is a human right!” This will, essentially, be the pay and working model if he ever got power over health care workers from whom their services, he says, are a “basic human right” due everyone else in the world. However, thankfully, this finger wagger will soon be gone from our lives forever.

Workers in the Soviet Union would get paid a loaf of bread for a whole day’s work at one of their factories.

That’s absolutely genius!
The sanitizer workers would be paid a loaf of bread for the week and the bread makers will be paid a bottle of sanitizer for their work week!
Why didn’t anybody ever think of this?

Whatever keeps a worker alive and still working.

Im seeing a picture evolve; Ive noticed that the good governor Cuomo is taking a very visible presence in the Corona Virus problem. Making sanitizer, activating National Guard, etc. Sooo, lets peel the onion a little bit. The Dems have a problem; its obvious the country is not ready for Bernie the Socialist and its obvious that Sleepy Joe is no longer ready for prime time if he ever was. So, whats the Dems to do? Maybe draft a more acceptable candidate? Do I see Cuomo standing over there with his hand up? Lol, I believe I do 🤣😂!!!

Is this satire?
I checked to see if it was the Babylon Bee.
It wasn’t.

In a jail system the inmates work in the kitchen and cook the food the officers eat, there ya go!

Under Bernie, EVERYONE would make 65 cents an hour, except for, you know, the really smart important people.
