Downvoted for main (and avoidable) focus on politics to make a very narrow point.

Agreed that social treatment of workers who suffer from major outside economic factors is pretty capricious, though.

I didn't vote but I share that objection. I also add that that 'very narrow point' is not the important political factor that it is made out to be and so the combination is misleading (or naive).
