Watch NY Gov Cuomo say his life is more important than yours, running out of money is no big deal, and you go get an “essential job” if you are suffering so bad!

A reporter asked Gov. Cuomo what he’d say to New Yorkers who want to go back to work because they’re running out of money, to which he replied, “economic hardship doesn’t equal death”

“You want to go to work? Go take a job as an essential worker” he added t.co/BgwoOZsQRy pic.twitter.com/WxGQxtg49p

LET THEM EAT ESSENTIAL JOBS: New York Gov. Cuomo to protesters wanting economy reopened: ‘Get a job as an essential worker.’ This is not a good look for the Governor.

UPDATE: Andrew Cuomo’s coronavirus nursing home policy proves tragic.

Also, Cuomo’s remark is particularly ghastly given that I hear the lines for soup kitchens and food pantries in NYC are mind-bogglingly long.
