Yes it is wrong for the government to mandate what a business does in the course of perfectly legal actions.
What Macy’s did was not illegal...just bad business. They compensated one group of employees while axing another...not smart if they were trying to limit losses.
My irritation is that we are being led down a path we are not going to be very happy with. Emotions take over and we fail to see the stitches on the fastball. One is being lobbed at us right now.
I reject this demonization and will continue to reject it. I would much rather put the blame where it belongs, at the feet of government manipulation.
