“Slaves had a patriotic duty to support the southern economy by accepting slavery.”

Friends, that salt of the earth populist Elaine Chao has a message for you.

Former Secretary of Labor @ElaineChao just said on @BloombergTV that workers have “a patriotic duty” to take jobs companies can’t fill. What about an employer’s patriotic duty to provide jobs with decent wages and benefits? (Cricket sounds here.) pic.twitter.com/ndocwpawZX

I am sure Chao and her husband Moscow Mitch will take a couple of those jobs in order to show their patriotism.
