Could now be the time we reevaluate our idea of what is the minimum bar for the wellness of our citizens here in the US?

And if businesses can’t find summer works, should those businesses be reevaluating their model? Do those businesses have a right to exist going forward as before COVID19 or do the workers have a right to a better living?

The more businesses are forced to reevaluate their model, the longer and harder the recovery will be. Maybe that’s worth it, I don’t know, but the consequences of a long recovery are going to largely fall on the backs of those same workers.
