Bar Rescue Guy’s DEMENTED Plan To Keep Workers Obedient By Starving Them Like 'Hungry Dogs'

Laura Ingraham of @FoxNews is joined by Jon Taffer of @BarRescue, the conservative Gordon Ramsey of bars, to complain about how much joint income households are getting in Covid unemployment compared to the national average. They both agree that Americans need to get their unemployment cut off so that they can be "hungry" to work again. Laura Ingraham discusses work-life balance and complains about millennials and the self-care movement. The Majority Report crew discusses unemployment during a pandemic and how cutting unemployment could actually lead to physical hunger and starvation.

Emma Vigeland: I love how they're pretending that it's not about actual hunger because they know how that sounds, but what is the consequence of cutting off unemployment benefits for people who they've arbitrarily decided? I don't know how you make the decision about who cannot work and who can work right but you cut off those benefits, that's going to result in literal hunger. Which they know, but they pretend it's just “hungry” to work, as I make an analogy about starving a dog by the way like shows great morals during the day. And then liken that to a worker.

Sam Seder: How many moments before this segment too I wonder was Laura Ingraham talking about the authoritarian nature of requiring masks, but the idea that her guest is talking about disciplining workers like you discipline a dog. Like literally you want them to be more obedient so you do not feed them. You don't feed them, you don't provide stuff for them because you want them to be obedient, How is that not authoritarian?

EV: How is starvation not coercive? How is targeted starvation to dangle food basically over somebody's head unless you participate in a workplace that is not necessarily safe due to a deadly pandemic? Like you can either risk your health or you can risk starving and then they say this is actually freedom in the part of the free marketplace and chuckle as they say it, both millionaires many times over. At least they said what they felt it's helpful and instructive at least to have that kind of sociopathy on national television and played out like that, thank you.

Matt Lech: They said what they need, they these sorts of businesses don't work without the fundamental coercion of laborers. This has always been the case in capitalism i want to go back to like the 17th or 18th century, you know I think John Taff is sort of our modern enlightenment figure and Laura Ingraham. Here's reverend joseph Townsend sort of prefigured Malthus who people are familiar with he says: Hunger will tame the fiercest animals it will teach decency and civility, obedience and subjection to the most perverse. In general, it is only hunger which can spur and go the poor onto labor yet our laws have said they should never hunger. The laws that must be convinced have likewise said they shall be compelled to work but then legal constraint is attended with much trouble violence and noise creates ill will and never can be productive of good and acceptable service. Whereas hunger is not only peaceable silent unremitting pressure but as the most natural motive to industry and labor it calls forth the most powerful exertions and when satisfied by the free bounty of another lay lasting and sure foundation of good will and gratitude. The slave must be compelled to work but the free man should be left to his own judgment
