Would be nice if we lived in a world where if you were getting "[fed] into a woodchipper" you could ... oh I don't know ... QUIT! At will employment. You're free to go and live your life how you see fit. Well, at least until we give the power back to the know-better do-good commissars and bureaucrats who then tell us everything we can and can't do for our entire existences.
"We have no work for you but you must work or you're lazy" is a ripe flavor of bullshit that really outsmells vague threats about how labor policy tweaks today will surely lead to the holodomor tomorrow.
