  1. They are making us lose everything, stop fighting each other! Fight for your rights.They are lying to us about the covid death, just so they can give us all a covid-19 VACCINE and capitalize on us and make us sick.

    Look up: Gavin Newsom at an indoor birthday party wearing no mask, sitting shoulder to sholder, living life having a good old time meanwhile we have to stay home for all occasions including Thanksgiving and Christmas. Tickets are cheap now…go out and visit friends and family and celebrate, enough of this nonsense! Gavin Newsom son goes to a private school where they wear no mask and he get to socialize, meanwhile our children are locked up at home like hermits!!!!Look Covid-19 is real but the numbers of death's are not. (People are dying in hospitals because the doctor's are not giving them the proper medication, doctor's and nurses have already established that)The CDC is paying the medical facilities $39,000 with covid-19 death…why? and is it with our tax dollars? Follow the money. The reason they are paying them $39,000 is to over inflate the number to be able to do forced vaccinations for shear profiting the 8%of the population or so.

    Everyone's running around Scared MASKED UP, while jogging, walking alone, taking to each other…why? When it's unnecessary. If you don't have a chronic health issue you'll be fine. Everyone's running around like a bund of scared uninformed babies… do your homework! What is wrong with you all? Come on y'all, liquor stores are open, Walmart's are open, Home Depot's are open but exercise facilities are closed, Churches are closed so why aren't you all questioning that?
    The hospitals want you to get depressed and get on their antidepressant drugs so they can further control the masses as they're doing now. The masks do not protect us, everyone knows this and they still wear them without fail. Mask deprive us from oxygen…look, 2 children have died of covid-19 in California according to the news so why have they shutdown the schools? Right now 11/20/20 the number of Covid-19 cases are up BECAUSE THEY ARE TESTING PEOPLE. GOOGLE or YouTube what's a faults positive test is y'all. YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO LET THEM RUIN YOUR THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS WHILE THEY LEAD A NORMAL LIFE!!! Follow the money Gavin Newsom is just profiting of this and the vaccine like the rest of the Elite. What is it going to take for you guys to open up your eyes? This is a lie…all you have to do is boost your immune system with a good source of vitamin C, zinc and D3 for God sakes and live life. I also take Super green powders by country way, I buy it at walmart.com for $14.97 my joke is one scoop of day will keep the doctor away.
    I'm trying to live a normal life but it's hard when you all won't fight for truth and normalcy with this covid-19 scam Plan-demic.
    Follow Dr. Richard Bartlett MD from Texas, dr. Scott Jensen senator from Minnesota, Dr. Simone gold from the American Frontline doctors, Dr. Buttar, Dr. Shiva on the topic of covid-19 and the. In the Netherlands and all across the United States and the world there are a ton of lawsuits against the vaccine and all you guys want to do is live in fear and start fighting for rights to not get vaccinated. I seen a Netherlands panel announcing the lawsuit and a woman stating she is affiliated with over 80,000 nurses that do not want the vaccine, doesn't that make you want to say 🥺😏🤬? Well it better.

    They will vaccinate first all the old people in rest homes and I believe that it is elderly abuse because they for sure are not informed as to what's in the vaccine. Next are nurses and anyone who works with the public as in police bus drivers and cab drivers 🥵🤪😲 and I'm fighting NOW so the people who are investigating in big pharma don't win by sticking us with a vaccine that has not been tested long enough and who are not liable for the harm they may cause us.

    We must fight and speak out because if we don't we are going to see something in the United States in the world that is unprecedented…so do your homework PLEASE.

    FOLLOW PEGGY HALL THE HEALTHY AMERICAN ON YOUTUBE ALSO. She has documents you can download to send two the the stores you frequent so you can send them all your city, country and state forms/Letters to help stop this madness. Please do you and your families a favor to live life to the fullest…Gavin Newsom IS! WHY CANT WE? and so are the other state official's, trust me.
    Most leader like Bill Gates, falchi, the CDC are all a bunch of old Crocks that are too old to party and have fun so they are money hungry Mongols that stand to make a mint off of vaccinating the world.
    Please wake up and STOP BEING A DUMB SHEEP.

    FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE… FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE AS THEY ARE LIVING.

    Disclosures; I'm not a doctor, the above recommendation is not approved by the FDA. You should consult your own doctor and I'm not trying to hear anyone from anyting.
    But as a cab driver, cancer survivor I have been exposed to covid-19 many times by picking up people from Wuhan China at the airports and when I could not breath, I took all the about vitamins I mentioned but more vitamin C, 1000 mg 3 times a day for 3 or 4 days (you cannot take this much if you have bad kidneys) I took 5 low-dose baby aspirin 81mg the five times I was exposed to Covid-19 (at the time it was Before Trump closed the boarder's and I did not know what the covid-19 symptoms were. But I know as a 62 yr old woman the ASPIRINS are my go to when I don't feel well (like if I get little sharp pains in my heart or if I've eaten to much and I've over done it and I can't breathe right) both my partners have had strokes so I keep myself in shape. I do not trust the hospitals in terms of covid-19 because I've heard the death toll numbers and I know how to help myself and listening to these doctor's and other doctor's who are telling the truth.
    Keep your churches open!!!
    Everything you watch on the News is a song and dance pony show to distracted US ALL TO THE VACCINE AND THE ELITES AGENDA ON THIS VACCINE!!! WAKE UP!
    Don't ruin your THANKSGIVING or Christmas plans, airplane flights Archie go visit family. Take lots of pictures and post them on social Media!!….. SMH.
    Trump was the only chance of us not getting vaccinated. We all should be concerned if we aren't getting real results of our votes. We all should want to get rid of the electoral college vote, that also does not suit us. Run for office and get rid of all the old foggies, we need to start a petition to stop these lifelong positions in the White House because they're all a bunch of sellouts and they take nothing but lobbyist money and that's one of the ways they become rich. Stop the corruption! They are stopping me from posting so I have to add more content.

  2. Working in fast food is NOT dishonorable. They are working just like everyone else but get the crappy hours and pay to match. While many do not make a living wage and need governmental assistance, I as a taxpayer do not mind because they ARE doing something to contribute to society.

    I believe everyone is essential – from medical providers to financial services, to food, to legal, to janitorial, to hospitality – the list goes on. Everyone is essential. Everyone.

  3. That so sad. Now usa know that essential workers deserve higth pay. Not the hallywood and all rich players and the riches. Who are hiding now in our expense healthy wise.corona make people open there eyes more and stop taking advantage of essentiel workers

  4. I worked for Mc Donalds for 3 1/2 years and started when I was 16. Taking it from experience the stores do not pay overtime, holiday pay, and do not provide any bonuses what so ever. Raises were also a joke and can be anywhere from 5 to 15 cents depending if they liked you. Mc Donalds expects maximum workloads with no incentive to keep their employees happy. People who work at the stores are immigrants who do not speak English, older people who have been through the jail system with drug problems, single mothers with kids, or teenagers. By the end of your shift, you have so much sweat and grease on your face you can wipe it off with a towel and practically cook with it. People who work there get sucked in and feel guilty leaving behind other co-workers in hardships. I quit that job 7 years ago but I can guarantee that the same people who I worked with are still at that store, and as sad as it may seem they are never getting out.

  5. Minimum wage jobs are not skillful jobs. Go learn a skill and make more money not stay at Mc Donald's for your entire life.

  6. Im sorry but why have a family if you cant support them on minimum wage? There are people in this world that work 12 hour shifts for 5 dollars an hour and these fast food employees all want more money. learn a trade or go to school to apply for better jobs, I know its hard now with this virus but this is the perfect time to home school and get a degree. Americans always feel like they deserve more.

  7. “I’ll do anything for him.” * has been working at the same McDonald’s for 10 years*…. at least say she’s a student if she is one. If not, then she’s not doing much

  8. They should get mroe pay for this for their jobs. Yet corporations don't give two shits about their employees. This is what happens when their is no union and Right To Work takes over most states.

  9. Worried about getting coronavirus but out there protesting without a mask on – not too smart. Yes, I believe these people deserve hazard pay and better safety conditions.

  10. I didnt realize anyone worked at a fast food place for more than a year or two, I thought these jobs were geared towards new grads looking for a stepping stone between school and a real job…

  11. I been said it. People getting 1000 plus to stay home mean while us "essential workers" risk our lives. I work in litigation support law firms are open so we are. With NO hazzard pay. I can stay in the safety of my own home and be nonessential…they make more 🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️

  12. You have a child, that’s your choice. You work at a establishment that gives you money, that’s your choice. There is a difference between skilled and unskilled. You wouldn’t pay a nurse salary to a fast food employee salary. I’m a fist generation immigrant but this is the risk
    We take.

  13. They should have paid leave working that long ! In the industry thats just shameful and sad like seriously money is so evil . Why cant this world get over material matter smh!

  14. And it not like food places, like McDonald's, is hurting for money. Business is boomin and hazard pay, along with 2 weeks of sick/quarantine time is the least they can be given.

  15. I would like to start by saying they do not deserve 15 dollars an hour. I would say that a job shouldn't be required to pay hazard but they should take it under consideration.

  16. REPUBLICANS HAVE YOU BELIEVE BUSINESS, AND RICH ARE SO IMPORTANT! IN THE END EVERYONE DEPENDS ON THE LOW WAGE WORKER FOR EVERYTHING!! TELL REPULICANS, AND TRUMP LOVING TERRORIST TO LEAVE THE USA FOREVER, OR EVERYONE GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THEM GO ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!!!

  17. REMEMBER TRUMP CALLED THIS A HOAX, AND REMEMBER HIM, AND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE TO BLAME! REMEMER WHEN STARVING THE TRUMP LOVER DID IT TOO YOU! REMEMBER WHEN YOUR FAMILY MEMBER DIES OF COVID THE TRUMP LOVER IS TO BLAME!

  18. You know what is a risk to my job, and those people still working. those people who refuse to wear masks. those who refuse to social distance. Generally those who protest these measures to prevent the virus from spreading.

  19. I work transporting the elderly and the disabled my job just gave me a paper mask yesterday May 1st I tried to order my own face mask on March 19th from Amazon and I'm still waiting company I work for is a multi-million dollar company and I'm sure has gotten many more Millions from the government get even our cleaning supplies are completely inadequate I'm having to bring my own they cut my hours but doubled my workload when I am at shift and I lost $7 an hour plus they closed my office so now I have to drive 30 minutes away to the nearest office WTF

  20. I am a well paid derivative trader straight out of college. However, I was once a Burger King employee after high school in the summer of 2014 so I understand what they go through…

  21. People ars positive about these protestors but totally against those demanding to get back to work. These are heros while those wanting to work and serve people are called selfish. Double standard

  22. REALLY a simple thank-you would go along way for me I work at Wal-Mart and they still treat us like we are furniture,i had ONE woman tell me thank-you for being here everyday and I almost cried,we are floating in a sea of misery and despair and it is so depressing,it is relentless.
