Let me guess, if someone is held hostage for a ransom, and the ransom isn’t paid, and the hostage is killed, you blame the person that didn’t pay instead of the kidnapper?
The reason hotel maids and bartenders will be hurt is because the CEO’s made leveraged bets and are losing their asses. That’s not the fault of consumers who choose not to spend, that’s the fault of the wealthy.
Or let me put it another way: I don’t owe those workers to make their boss rich so he pisses a little of that wealth onto them. I would much rather provide a social safety net to help them out when their boss loses money being a prick.
Well I’m sure as fuck not going to feel morally obligated to provide the wealthy even more profit in either case, so that’s actually moot. But if we’re going to worry about the plight of the common man, let’s go about it the right way.
Good.
No it isn’t.
There are plenty of people who are going to lose money and/or jobs because of this. Trump and his cronies aren’t going to be hurt.
Don’t celebrate hotel maids and servers getting screwed

Literally the same moral logic.
First, explain to me what part of “Don’t celebrate hotel maids and servers getting screwed” is so offensive to you.
Apparently reading comprehension is also not a strong suit for you.

Good news, you’re doing NEITHER.

The delusion that literally every employer is a billionaire is fucking embarrassing.
By deluding yourself into thinking a business of any size is the same as mega corporations and doing nothing else. Good work.
What a profoundly American way of seeing things.
I hope they all have the day they voted for then.
