Nothing quite like ending with “smart move morons” to reinforce how one’s perspective is a thoughtful critical analysis, and not reactionary culture war buffoonery at all.

>smart move morons

Summarized my thoughts while reading the rest of the article though.

Instead of ending up with an organic distribution of personnel by hiring those qualified, now no one gets any jobs. Progress!

Exactly. It's insane.

Do construction workers not normally get healthcare coverage?

It's not just healthcare though.

Plus it may be that the healthcare requirements are beyond what the market would typically provide.

Almost all employers offer some kind of healthcare benefit, but many of those are completely useless plans.

Childcare is ridiculously expensive to provide too especially when you consider the infrastructure isn't there either and would need to be built.
