Greed, Ignorance, Incompetence and Selfishness are the biggest threats to a healthy society.

[leciabella]

I saw a republican member on the news say that anyone of the workers ( at meat factory)who fail to show up to work will not receive unemployment benefits and will be considered voluntary leaving ones job.... 🤪🙏🤦‍♀️ wth is wrong with these people!!!

[sophiallama]

I have respect for journalists like Maddow who do tons of research and give us the story of what's really going on.

[dorettacalkins]

OUR System is broken, broken, again thank you Mr. President, sarcasm

[learnenglishfluentlywithjo]

Trump's fingerprints all over that CDC report can someone put him out with the garbage

[aurytons]

If I were to be in the media, she'd definitely be my role model, she has a way of laying out a case that is precise and easy to understand

[horriblecustomer]

This type of journalism is why I went ahead and read her book ‘Blowout’. I wasn’t disappointed.

[hollyjones]

Has anybody come to the realization that we are a dime a dozen to them? THEY do not care so long as THEY are making money.

[dweb]

U nailed this piece. Agree totally with u it’s absurd.

[mekawoods]

Whistle Blowers PLEASE come out!! The time is NOW, the TRUTH will set you FREE!
We don't deserve this! Thank you Rachel, Stay on it! 💯

[lawrencemaweu]

Everyone should watch this. It is so informative.

[mikehink]

This should be used as an example of great journalism. Thank you Rachel and your team.

[bengeldinger]

I love Rachel being obscure, then makes sense. It's why she's genius

[elainescott]

Good question, where does Donald Trump get the power to override the C D C. The C D C has the power to make the meet processing plants clean up their act.
This should not be a cost on the taxpayer it is the direct responsibility of the Owners of these facilities . Whoever diluted this report to please the Whitehouse
should be held responsible for the purposeful murder of every person who dies from being forced to work in these processing plants. He or she is responsible
For the health and safety of every person in the US. Whoever owns these plants have obviously been running sub-standard facilities to increase their profits.
1:-Make the owners and stock holders bring these facilities up to the standard, using the profits they have made from their disregard for their employees.
2:- the person who rewrote the C D C report obviously to please Donald Trump so he could order the plants to open Should be charged for the MURDER of every employ who dies as a result.

So if the people packing our food are sick how safe is all that meat and if not how many more people will get sick

[jamiewilkinsracing]

[janetslack]
