What’s funny to me is, when things are good no one wants government intervention into anything because business owners are job creators! Why have labor laws when it should just be the free market that dictates the rules of the game.
Then something like this happens and we don’t hold those business owners accountable to assist with helping their workforce? Suddenly they can fire everyone because hey, no one said they can’t so fuck those plebs who cleaned the store or restaurant while the CEOs get a raise before it’s too late for a money grab. It’s just business?
Have a feeling that that stack of million is off. If we are going off that 10k stack shouldn't there be like a 100 of them where the million is?
Privatize the profits socialize the losses.What’s funny to me is, when things are good no one wants government intervention into anything because business owners are job creators! Why have labor laws when it should just be the free market that dictates the rules of the game.

Ear worm alert...
Those people were all homeless & hungry before the virus.
And they will be homeless & hungry after the virus.
Cool DUMP TRUMP stickers though.
Yea perhaps society should do something about that...

been seeing a bunch of celebs getting roasted for trying to pretend like this is affecting them the same as everyone else.
Gal Gadot took a beating.

Looks like lots more will join them after the virus.
Well........ it is going to happen.

Didn't read the message the company or CEO sent. Just read replies to it. To think replaceable workers should somehow be gifted money by an owner of a business as if they were a family member while the company is out of business, let alone tanking in true worth, is something I can't comprehend. The you have a lot and I have nothing argument isn't how society works. You work for fair compensation, and the business that hires you pays you for it. When a business is no longer in business (ie. not making any money, or in this case losing tons of money), why should they come out of pocket and lose even more?
I was unaware of the unemployment insurance. With this in mind, the company has paid for the benefit for the workers. Shouldnt the workers file for and receive benefits? Or are you suggesting they should get both out of pocket compensation, plus wages in benefits? Again, most employees are easily replaceable, unless working a highly trained or skilled job.
6:30 am and I need some sleep. This wuflu thread better be good when I wake up.
Very possible.
I don't disagree with any of that.
I'm all about capitalism and the free market.
My beef is his message. Again, it's his company and he can say what he wants. But to be talking about god and shit like "we're all in this together" is just bad judgement.
If he doesn't think that will be met with rolling eyeballs from not only society but by his own employees, then that shows how detached from reality he is.
I wonder if this will trigger more of these "from my house" gigs by performers even after this virus passes. I've watched a couple. It's a pretty cool experience.
It's an easy way for them to make some quick cash and have none of the touring expenses they typically deal with. And a good way for them to interact with fans.
The Shock Doctrine.
I'm also seeing videos of normal folk who are stuck in isolation who finally have the time to share their talents with the rest of the world. Super cool shit...
Business owners didnt create this situation, the government did. I'm not excusing all business owner behavior but the party who creates a problem should be the one responsible for solving it.What’s funny to me is, when things are good no one wants government intervention into anything because business owners are job creators! Why have labor laws when it should just be the free market that dictates the rules of the game.
