Except that walking outside and getting groceries are a choice and calculated risk, with VERY limited exposure given most shopping trips are brief...by contrast, Tesla opening their factories means workers are forced to choose between losing their jobs (and presumably healthcare) or going to work in a potentially risky workplace for hours at a time, and trusting that their employer (who doesn't believe covid is that bad) is implementing safe measures to protect them, while blatantly flouting the law?
> going to work in a potentially risky workplace for hours at a time
This part has yet to be proven though. If they're asked to do something unsafe then I think they should have the full weight of the government (OSHA) protecting their rights to a safe workplace and full strength of the legal community to do justice if TSLA fails to uphold their end of the bargain (kinda like asbestos lawsuits)
I don't think the US government is functioning properly right now, but what about the global lockdown, affecting almost every industry and endorsed by most scientists, leads you to believe that nothing has been proven?
