> grocery workers are not wearing masks at scale

I never said they were

> they are not calling out the 'get medical workers the N95s' policy

Why the hell would anyone call them out for wanting to get masks to medical workers? Medical workers should have masks, but that does not mean the public should not also have masks. People are rightfully calling them out for telling the average Joe to not wear a mask, but for some reason people like you are worried about the poor helpless corporations.

> This 'blame the rich' populism is irresponsible.

The only reason we can't produce enough masks domestically is because "the rich" have exported most of our production capabilities out of the country, so they can increase their margins and hoard more wealth. Bringing this to light is not irresponsible, the decisions that the wealthy in this country have made on its behalf is what's irresponsible, and there will be a reckoning.
