Maybe that explains why there are so many thousands of federal workers on paid leave, they are just helping the economy!
That’s one reason the public unions get their workers so much paid time off; the agencies have to have plenty of workers to fill in for the absent ones. The union gets more money and everyone except the taxpayers are happy.
Crazy.
bttt
I looked for a satire indication too, but I think this is real. He’s “reasoning” that if someone is on paid leave, someone has to hire someone else to do the work. It never occurs to him that if paid leave is a cost of hiring within the USA, employers are going to create fewer jobs here.
Yeah, let’s make employers pay more people for doing nothing, that’ll solve everything. /s
That’s the way gov’t agencies operate, but they have taxpayers that are forced to pay for it. They don’t have to worry about profit.
What?! Paid leave is a solution to the opposite problem: when you have too many jobs and not enough people, you offer incentives to attract the best to your place of work.
So no chance that anything other than paid leave could cause that result? Undivided middle fallacy.
