Don't forget the progressive destruction of the idea of a 'full time job' for most Americans.

"Full time employees - who work more than 32 hours a week, must receive benefits"
Yay !

"No employee will be allowed more than 32 hours."
(crickets)

EVERY SINGLE RETAIL OPERATION screwed their employees that way.

(Ok, except Costco, welcome to Costco, I love you)

Government tried to create remedies by dictating how employees will be compensated based on their work hours. Government clapped it's hands and declared "problem solved."

Of course it was a no-brainer for companies to shift the employees around to suit their needs. Government was all like: "Hey, we tried."

No they didn't try. It was projected that this would happen and it did happen. That means it wasn't a good solution in the first place.

Whoever conceived the idea, THEY screwed the employees.

Anytime we try to create remedies that help people try to make dead end work better sustain them, we fail. Instead of growing your stable of abilities and skills, you continue to try to make a no skill job like driving an Uber car work for you.

We should be rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure of this nation instead. But we can't do that if we keep letting Republicans beat us while we try to make public college free (at which point they'll realize it doesn't pay for where you live, your expenses, your food and the other 80% of college costs).
