It must be comforting to those charged with doling out the public largesse when circumstances contrive to abet their worst tendencies.

Labor Czar Scalia, taking a break from representing corporate interests in private, does their bidding as a public officer.

Thus, he says, he will ensure that the work force of the country does not get too much comfort from the Coronavirus relief bill enacted by Congress. It is not in their best interest, he sagely opines, for the working class to grow dependent on government aid.

How true, Scalia. Becoming dependent on government aid might tempt them to change their names to Boeing, Tyson Foods, and Goldman Sachs, and incorporate, thus ensuring themselves of your support in growing dependent on government aid. Like coal companies, corporate farms, pharmaceuticals, professional sports, investment banking firms, and real estate developers, most glaringly of a grotesque orange tint.  

No, that won't do for mere laborers, who have become used to the paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle, and who would become slothful if their circumstances improved. See the lost causes above for examples. 

So, Scalia, pare the benefits down. Protect oligarchs and their interests. Pander to the leaders you serve and represent. But leave the laborers to fend for themselves, as always.

Sicofante viscoso!
