The reality is, the job market is not that liquid. That's why people are terrified of losing their job.
- SilasX 10y agoTrue, but shouldn't we be working on a more general solution to that problem rather than playing whack-a-mole with every possible way employers can abuse the power that comes from that illiquidity?
- hackuser 10y agoI agree that would be better, but I'm eager to hear the politically feasible, general solution that will help these people. Unions and collective bargaining are one general solution, but those are under great threat now. IME, Congress seems to play whack-a-mole with most issues; I've often wondered what about Congress causes that outcome.
