0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.239
<v Speaker 1>A couple of months ago, to Los Angeles City Council

0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>came up with a plan to deal with their coronavirus

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:09.040
<v Speaker 1>financial crisis. They decided to give city employees up to

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>eighty thousand dollars to retire. If enough people took the money,

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the city could avoid pay cuts for tens of thousands

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>of workers still on the payroll. That was the plan.

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Well two months later, the Los Angeles City Council is

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.639
<v Speaker 1>taking another crack at the same problem because they can't

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>seem to get their financial house in order. This time,

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.319
<v Speaker 1>they want to give twelve hundred city workers buyouts and

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>start mandatory furloughs for over fifteen thousand more. The furloughed

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>workers would have to take one unpaid day off every

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. And here's the problem. Because of the shutdown,

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>LA's tax revenues are weighed down, the cost of doing

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>business is way up. But despite the financial crisis, some

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>city union workers are balking at unpaid furloughs. They don't

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>buy the idea that they are the ones that ought

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>to take it in the shorts. They want their money

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>on time, no questions asked. Now before anybody pulls out

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>their hankies, to wipe over the plight of the l

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>A City workers, to weep over it. Remember this, millions

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 1>of Americans have lost jobs and businesses with no buyouts

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>and no furloughs, while the Democrats who insisted on these

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>shutdowns didn't give a damn. Maybe you should wipe something
