California governor vetoes bill offering unemployment pay to strikers
Fuck you, Newsome. I think pay for striking workers would be overwhelmingly popular with voters. I'm voting against this turkey next chance I get.
You're viewing a single thread.
Sorry we only bail out big banks, investment firms, airlines, and other filthy capitalists. Workers? Hell no! Murica would crumble if we helped working citizens!
They stopped working. They don't need a bailout. The unions these workers give money to every paycheck are supposed to be going towards this stuff. Even if you sound like an idiot, I get what you're trying to say but it doesn't make sense to have a program for people being fired or laid off giving money to people who already have a source of income. It's unemployment, not universal income.
Citizens who are literally choosing not to work, in this case.
There's a difference between choosing to not work and refusing to be exploited. The world isn't boolean and zero-sum, regardless of what capitalists say and do.
This right here is why all arguments supporting the veto are moronic. '08 financial crisis anyone. Wealthy assholes built a house of cards. When it collapsed they got to keep all the profits and we had to pick up the tab. Sorry if they get bailouts with no questions asked, then American people should get the same.
