Yes. And those are hard working people who decided that that was a good trade off and took the job (as opposed to the legislator who other than “editing” had not had a job before she took on the job of highly paid politician).

This is a stupid rebuttal. Society is allowed to improve the life work workers while working. Just because you want people to personally suffer doesn't make it right.

This is some old school puritan classism right here.

“ because you want people to personally suffer”

I never said I want people to suffer. I think your position is stupid because it will cause suffering through layoffs.

Very rarely has government intervention worked recently. But I guess you think these workers are stupid too and can’t take care of themselves.

Just get off their backs, I promise you they can handle without your performative outrage.

“ Society is allowed to improve the life work workers while working” This is not society doing anything. This is literally a politician that is advocating for government intervention in the economy.

Not always.

I found myself in a job with golden handcuffs that made it difficult to leave, which went from the best job of my life to a nightmare on earth when a key leader passed away and replaced by someone whose sociopathy was one of his better attributes.

His insane pace put my boss in the hospital from the stress.
