An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in people exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus at home, according to trial results published today in the New England Journal of Medicine1. The drug could be a lifeline for those who still face real danger from the virus, such as care-home residents or transplant recipients on immune-suppressing medication.

My thought is that governments should levy taxes on corporations that pay their workers unfairly plus a 1% for each and every employee/worker on their payroll who is forced to live on welfare (government subsidies). Why should the general public pay for what corporations don't do, which is give a living wage to their workers.

This would extend to contractors and temp employees as well. They must give a living wage to them.

The government should be able to recoup the money from millionaires and billionaires who are so underpaying they can have private jets.

I did the math for Walmart for this one guy based off of 3 of the company's millionaires and manages to balance the sheet of the Walmart workers on welfare. I was so precise the guy I was fighting, couldn't refute it. Walmart absolutely can afford to pay a living wage if the top 10 executives gave a pay cut to themselves at about 3%.

The workers who do the most work on the ground should see the most benefit.

This would motivate companies to pay a living wage, because why pay 1% more when they can simply pay a living wage, plus there should be a law on if they fire employees based on this law that they have to pay unemployment for the employee as a living wage until they find new employment as well. (i.e. they can't lay off more than 2% of their workforce more than usual without getting a penalty larger than the 1% for every employee.)

Israeli snipers using head shots to kill Palestinian children playing is why the US needs to end the gravy train.

Cut them off. No funding. No aid. No military support. Sanctions. Visas revoked, passports denied, access to SWIFT blocked. Trade ended. Expulsion from the UN, OECD, and OAS. Demilitarization like Germany post WW2. No fly zones established and monitored. Government and IDF officials stand trial in the ICC.
