Government should stop trying to destroy the free market.
Oh please tell me it isn’t so. You mean that it actually costs someone when there is no production?
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you to learn that the cost of these humanitarian mandates has to be paid by someone and that money doesn’t just fly out of the butts of unicorns and happy monkeys.
They never learn because they never suspect. This will go on until it is stopped.
Holy smokes! Who could've ever imagined this happening?
If you reward behavior, you will get more of it.
If you pay people to take time off when they are not feeling well, you will get more people choosing to stay home on sick leave rather than tough it out.
If you demand people see the doctor to qualify for paid sick leave, more people will go to the doctor for minor ailments.
Why is this so hard for liberals to understand?
My neighbor is a woman in her fifties who drinks and smokes to excess. She’s a state employee. Recently, she said, “I’ve earned me a week of sick time so I’m just gonna take next week off drunk and call in sick.” The state employee sick leave is much more generous than any private company I ever worked for. I have known both those who abused it and those who almost never used it. But, I’d have to say anecdotally that it is more abused than not.
I’ve known people who consider mandatory sick leave just to be more vacation time.
How could this possibly be a surprise to any sentient being?
I wish they had put in an explanation linking cause and effect. How else could a liberal follow their reasoning? What is the mechanism by which increasing the cost of doing business increases the cost of doing business?
