Can we class-action sue Twitler for his failure to act?

And sue for lost wages and punitive damages?

I just may be furloughed starting April 19. I’ll be able to burn PTO which will get me thru mid-May but I’m still luckier than most. SO many people are going to be struggling VERY soon

The credit agencies need to be put on hiatus, for one thing, too

And those with medical bills, too?

Ugh. We couldn’t have had a WORSE person as president during all this

that insulated governmental bodies and officials from liability for discretionary acts - even if their discretion is faulty and the acts are stupid.
