Comment on Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe signed off on legislation repealing paid sick leave provision

Onerous: (of a task, duty, or responsibility) involving an amount of effort and difficulty that is oppressively burdensome.

It was too hard to give the voters what 58% voted for, 1 week of mandatory vacation a year, so they didn’t. Fuck you poors.

Gotta love when one guy can just deny the will of the people.

  Not just one guy. It was a legislative majority in both houses.

Obviously, the voters didn’t really understand what they’d voted for and they needed the brave, brilliant, business-friendly leaders in the state capital to reverse it for them.

Incidentally, all these assholes will coast to victory in the 2026 election season, because the opposition party will be too afraid of alienating mega-donors to make “Guaranteed Paid Sick Leave” the centerpiece of their campaign.
