It sounds like their only argument is “it’s expensive”, which I find somewhat comforting because then it sounds like they at least agree with the science.
It’s a shame lawmakers don’t put stipulations in that they cannot trickle down those costs to the consumers. It’s not our fault, and we shouldn’t be put in a damned if you do and damned if you don’t position.
Can we form a class-action lawsuit to sue anybody who raises our rates over this? Legit question.
That's always their argument and try to spin it as a US problem.
"You'll remove a LOT OF JOBS and make everything more expensive if you ban child labor!"
The conservatives ethos in a nutshell.
And they knew a long time ago it would be expensive and did it anyway.
