I think you are saying, “your turn” are you not?

A taste of their own medicine? Now you can access all the sub-subsistence benefits record numbers of former workers have turned to to avoid starvation?

Karma. I feel bad for anyone who works and loses their job. Even rats.

Whether they deserve it is another matter I suppose. But given where we are, it just might convert a few rats into conservatives once they realize the government will not be there to give them salaries and benefits beyond any equal in the private sector.

It may even make them grow up.

We can hope.

I do too - for normal people. But not for people who view things as a zero sum game (their prosperity must come at my expense) I'm trilled at the prospect of them losing their opportunity to have their grubby hands in the machine screwing things up for the rest of us.

Rats are hard-wired. There's no change possible using less than a 2-pound sledgehammer.
