The question we really need to ask is – why are people driven to bankruptcy and suicide because of their employment situation? Why can't everyone have a cushion so they aren't reliant on their next paycheck to have food and shelter? Why can't everyone have healthcare? Why can't we have reasonable vacations, sabbaticals, maternity/paternity leaves? These are the issues government should be solving. And when they do, companies should happily lay off as many people as they want as frequently as they want.
