They are using this pandemic to attack unions while everyone is distracted.

And here I was thinking my union would shield me from this insanity. Maybe it still will.

They'll refuse to pay out, get billions in bailout money making their much smaller losses good and then some, before raising premiums decidedly more than that 40%.

I hope that's the case, but there's a long history of some of the worst institutions surviving plagues even stronger than before because of consolidation of power and bailouts/finances.

It's not even a matter of bribing. The companies will be like "welp we're either going bankrupt and saddling these X million people with all this debt OR you can bail us out"

And of course instead of using the opportunity to just let the fuckers go under and establish a halfway decent healthcare system, they'll be bailed out.

e: this is the best case scenario

the thirty-two trillion stored in offshore accounts? corona-chan can be used as an impetus for mass movement, but thinking that the system's colossal failure to respond to this is...

people without jobs or food will loot grocery stores and then when the cops come in to murder them, they will correctly assign blame for that on the government, even if they had previously blamed their joblessness and hunger on the chinese or the democrats
