    The choice was between a rock and a hard place. I’m glad they erred on the side of caution as the people should matter more than the economy and we all need more money in this new world economy. Lawmakers had decades to shore up legislation to protect the workers but they went all in on corporations. Wab Kinew made the right decision but workers everywhere (except corporate executives and their grotesquely huge bonuses) should be paid more money. Basic personal income should be a must moving forward. Food and shelter for all, at the very least would stabilize a lot of the social ills out there.
