That John Galt thing is the first constructive idea I’ve heard from Republicans during this crisis. If they all start working less, it will open up jobs for others, and jobs with good pay too. Bring it on!
To which Tam can't help but reply...
Does it hurt when you try to think?
The people that make $250,000+/yr are the kind of people who own businesses that employ other, less-skilled or -qualified, workers. When the doctor or lawyer cuts back, they lay people off. The cashier from Piggly-Wiggly is not going to step up and start performing cardiac catheterizations or doing patent attorney work to fill that "open job".
Worse, if the Piggly-Wiggly cashier has been going to night school to become a medical receptionist or a paralegal, she’s screwed now, because there are fewer job openings and more unemployed paralegals and medical receptionists competing for them.
How much more misguided can you possibly be? "If my boss/doctor/mechanic quits, then I'll just take his job?" Seriously??? What can you even do in the face of such ignorance?
If these people refuse to listen to the nice teachers trying to educate them in economic truths, then they're going to have to learn from the most unforgiving teacher of all...
Life.
It's not going to be pretty.
Just keep repeating...
Yes we CAN...
Yes we CAN...
Yes we CAN...
