McConnell, Trump, and their henchmen intend to make immunity for businesses from claims arising from the virus one of their principal objectives in the next round of stimulus negotiations. On a related note, it appears that some businesses are already requiring workers and customers to sign waivers before entering their premises.
Would you patronize a business that required you to sign a virus waiver? Is this a good way to regain consumer confidence? I don’t think so.
The Republicans are making it clear that they view our current economic problems as a function of inadequate supply, which can be resolved by providing legal and financial aid to producers. They’re wrong. The real issue is demand, which won’t recover until a much larger segment of the population is convinced that they can associate with other people without catching the virus.
