Just about everything related to preventative measures for COVID-19. The first instance that jumps to my mind is the isolation guidelines essentially being dictated by Delta, the airliner. That’s it. Only the whims of a corporation. Don’t have any screenshots or anything on me at the moment but there is a lot in here, though! (everyone should watch the video this is attached to, as well)

Did you know the California Supreme Court rules that it’s fine for your employer not to follow regulations related to COVID safety because to do otherwise would be catastrophic for business and while ruling otherwise was ‘legally and morally’ correct it would be a ‘floodgate’ case for widespread employer liability? They literally said this.
