Speaker 1: Woman named Catherine Rampell, an opinion writer at the Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime Washington Post, usually bashist Donald Trump, but this week
Speaker 1: she urged her fellow liberals to rethink their core beliefs
Speaker 1: about business. After saying she supports policies that are supposed
Speaker 1: to provide higher wages and more paid family leaves, sick time,
Speaker 1: and overtime. She said each of these policies has the
Speaker 1: potential to make workers more costly to hire. Cumulatively, they
Speaker 1: almost certainly do. She admitted what happened when Seattle raised
Speaker 1: their minimum wage to thirteen dollars an hour, workers ended
Speaker 1: up with smaller paychecks as business owners cut back their hours.
Speaker 1: She said a lefty pro labor platform might actually encourage
Speaker 1: people to hire less labor whoa in miss Rampell went
Speaker 1: where liberals rarely go. She criticized an Obama regulation that
Speaker 1: forced businesses to pay overtime to more employees. Trump's labor
Speaker 1: departments revising it so it won't impact businesses nearly as hard.
Speaker 1: She writes. As strange as it feels to say something
Speaker 1: nice about policies being pursued by Trump, this might be
Speaker 1: a better approach. Wait a minute, Trump might be right
Speaker 1: Rampel's fellow progressives must be furious with her. To liberals,
Speaker 1: businesses only exist to give employees benefits and healthcare and wages.
Speaker 1: Companies concerned with profits, Why that's unacceptable. They're just greedy.
Speaker 1: Mrs Rampell. I don't know how you got past your
Speaker 1: editors with this. I do hope you still have a job.
