mcconnell should include an amendment that states that government workers affected by the coronavirus will not get paid until they go back to work, physically.

lay them off til they feel the pain of their constituents.

allow them to apply for jobs at their local eateries.

Gov’t Employees have been completely isolated from the economic effects of covid. It’s about fricking time they have the same skin in the game as the rest of us.

When a democrat says “bipartisan” that is code for “unilaterally favoring democrats.”

Local Government Officials deserve NO Immunity for anything COVID SCAM Related, in fact they should all be sued in a class action suit and personally bankrupted and made homeless for the rest of their miserable lives for their lockdown mask crap.

If Chuck cared about Gov’t workers he’d ban their unions.

Good, if set aside means eliminate.

Most federal government employees are deep state saboteurs. To the devil with the lot of them.
Left to me, most of them will be in the unemployment line. They are of no use to anybody and are a great force of evil in this country.

eyeamok, there are 2 separate provisions. Schumer wants state and federal workers to get virus relief money for all the non-pain they “suffered”. The other provision would give owners of businesses, etc. relief from lawsuits alleging someone got it at work or visiting the businesses. Trial lawyers have the Democrats in their pockets.
