I hate to be harsh, but any one of these workers who lost their gig AND voted for democrats, YOU GOT WHAT YOU ASKED FOR!! Your bleeding heart lawmakers decided that your job was worth “the greater good” You should feel great that your livelihood saw sacrificed to help the downtrodden.
Now they will almost certainly find any hot mike that can and whine that the business owners’ personal GREED was the reason, because as we all know small business owners are all bathing in genuine alabaster bathing vessels while stroking their armpits with string of jewels (with apologies to Dom DeLuise) and can easily afford to ratchet up their employees wages by 25%
This will be followed next year by more tax increases to fund “emergency safety net programs to assist those made jobless by the benefits for the greater good.
My favorite story, I think I read it here, was the employee who was giddy at being given a huge raise. The next day there was a letter informing her that her hours were cut to basically earning what she was before the raise - less hours+more pay = the same paycheck she had before the raise.
