It takes a special kind of gall to throw millions of people out of their jobs, then when you finally let them go back to work again, claim you 'created' the jobs they were already doing before you fucked up their lives. > LIE 2: "Other than Herbert Hoover, [Donald Trump] is the only president > who has lost more jobs than he created." The fundamental basis for all of these statement is a lie. With the exception of government workers, government doesn't/can't create jobs in the first place. > LIE 7: "There's corporate greed going out there.

Well, Newsom sure thinks that's the solution to businesses laying off employees or replacing them with automation to counter his ridiculous $20/hour minimum wage for burger flippers. He wants to pass laws making it illegal for a business to reduce its workforce to save money or to replace a human with a machine.
