I'm donating a hundred bucks to the Greater Chicago Food Depository this week. Encouraging others to do so as well.
That the gig workers could not get paid until a system was set up in May is a disgrace. It was known Wuhan China had a virus spreading over the Winter. No one planned for a giant "what if?" in the USA? Proactive instead of reactive? Reading the stories of those suffering is heartbreaking.
