House's paid sick leave Bill only covers 20% of workers

Why? Because this is what the Blight House and Repugs required in order to pass the House. Great job you bribed, corrupt lackeys protecting big business and endangering human lives in the bargain. Remember this come voting time.

"The bill guarantees sick leave only to about 20 percent of workers. Big employers like McDonald’s and Amazon are not required to provide any paid sick leave. [...] The White House and congressional Republicans, who insisted on the exemptions as the price of bipartisan support for the legislation, bear the primary responsibility for the indefensible decision to prioritize corporate profits in the midst of a public health emergency."
