A private company that is surely doing a much better job and much more cheaply /s

Add to that that the fired workers had to be paid unemployment benefits and then likely got jobs with lower wages, so they pay less taxes, the standard of living of their kids has gone down, etc.

It baffles me how many people think firing workers making a decent (but relatively extremely low) wage to hire workers earning minimum wage and having to work three jobs to survive can be a win for society, but here we are.
