... Now with the stroke of a pen, the @USDOL has decided that one way to overcome this crisis is to suspend fairness rules on these projects. This is a further expression of the racism evidenced by the Trump Administration...

9. Look for many more of these insidious carve outs that

take advantage of the nation's focus on the corona virus to exploit the Republican wish list. In another incidence they struck abortion, and now this. I'm sure there are other things they have already got their claws into, taking of the misery of others.
