New York Times Infotainer: Taking Away Unemployment Insurance Will Make You Look All the More Harder For Those Jobs That Don't Exist


Oh look, the Paper of Record has employed another typist to explain about bootstraps and whatnot, and give us the cold hard truth about why we are all losers who do not have jobs. Is it because of structural unemployment, or maybe something to do withrobots? Ha! Ha! Ha! Of course not, says New York Time Infotainer Casey B. Mulligan, it is because of all of you Poors who collect unemployment, which somehow prevents jobs from materializing out of thin air and offering themselves to you at low wages that would increase or maintain employer profits. DUH. See, this is why we do not type at you from the New York Times' "Economix" section: it requires the ability to defend trickle-down economics over and over again in spite of overwhelming evidence that it does not work. But we digress! Now we will discuss this horrible supply-sider who writes about trickle-down fairy dust for that liberal rag, the New York Times.


Yes, Poors and Disableds, why won't you accept changes in working condition or pay that makes it easier for employers to retain you? Like those nice Africans who generously work for $2 per day so the richest lady on earth can earn $600 per second? Don't you know she WANTS to hire Australians but can't because they won't make it profitable enough for her?

If an employee has better, or less bad, options outside the [employer-employee] relationship, then the employer will find the employee more expensive to keep. Disability and other forms of social insurance increase the income employees can receive outside the job and thereby make employees more expensive from an employer’s point of view.

Translation (and this really provides excellent insight into the supply-side mentality): if an an employee can scrape by on benefits rather than work while injured or exploited, then he or she might opt not to work while injured or for less than a living wage. If we just make it impossible for the employee to get by without working while injured, or make things so difficult that a sub-living wage is better than nothing at all, the employee will stay and the employer can continue making a profit. And the profit will trickle down on the rest of us like a golden shower!



Would these "other ways" provide a living wage? Who cares, this is not important, because of the Free Market and Liberty, duh.


Ah yes. Think of how much better off we'd be as a society if we were forced to work while injured or sick. Bootstraps! Stuff that does not kill us making us stronger! Walking uphill, both ways, in snow, because of the good old days! And if our unemployment insurance was taken away, we would look EVEN HARDER for those jobs that are not there or work for $2 per day and jobs would magically materialize!
