And thus, it should come as no surprise to literally anyone that the Freedom Foundation is a free-market think tank that's almost entirely bankrolled by conservative billionaires. They're big recipients of money from the Cokes, from the Donors Trust, as well as from the Bradley Foundation and the Scafes. They're little more than an anti-union, anti-worker agitating policy house, which is paid by the super-rich to argue against them having to pay their workers more. For instance, in 2014, they released a policy paper arguing against mandatory sick leave rules for employees. That same year, The Guardian released a fundraising letter that the foundation put out that said, quote, The Freedom Foundation has a proven plan for bankrupting and defeating government unions through education, litigation, legislation, and community activation. They've also been militantly opposed to raises in the minimum wage laws. The Freedom Foundation is exactly the sort of place you would expect to hear this kind of shit from. They're bought and paid for mouthpieces of the people who aren't worried about the virus except in terms of it keeping people home from work. I know I don't need to spell this out for you, but to make things perfectly clear, these people are paid by billionaires to make everyone else's lives worse. They write things like this COVID-19 Washington story, not because they're uncovering some truth about these less than five deaths, but because it helps shift the conversation and it gives cover for politicians to put workers at risk. The dead giveaway is their funding, but also the fact that their article doesn't mention the 3,000 death certificates that aren't listed as COVID but might be cases. The omission of that information is proof positive that they took what they wanted from the press conference and ignored the part that was inconvenient for them.
