Government is meant, in part, to give some amount of power & push-back to the least among us. Representative government is the solution we arrived at after we decided it was kinda shitty to just kill each other.

Why are you trying to deny people the representation they deserve and prevent the government from doing something people might want? Seems like some ideologically-based bullshit to me.

_Some_ people _might_ want - and a very privileged something at that! This is not west virginia coal wars. Why do a handful of ideologues get to insert themselves in the employee employer relationship for something so tame?

Because that is the form of government we have. We seek redress to our grievances in the way these folks have acted. Your POV is essentially “shut up and take it” or “find a new job”. Neither of these addresses the issue being raised. Nor does the idea that this is somehow “too tame” — that’s just dismissive.

Again I ask why you seek to deny others their rights?
