“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

One of the things I remember from the California grocery strike was the companies claiming they were losing money and had to cut benefits and wages for new workers because they couldn't afford them anymore. In light of that, I feel nothing but disgust to read that five Kroger executives received six figure bonuses last year. Perhaps that money could have gone to pay for health insurance for the many rather than the yacht expenses of the few?
