"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Submitted by Westernerd on Thu, 2016-08-18 03:00

Employee hours were cut. People were replaced by technology, and prices went up. On top of that, some workers actually requested fewer hours because they made too much and no longer qualified for subsidized housing and food stamps.
