“Will cost America”

Haha no. It will not cost working class people a cent. Which is most of America.

Well you know capitalism. Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.

When corporate is losing money it's "All of us in America lost 700 million in productivity"

But when profits are higher than ever before it's "Sorry there's no bonus this year, we're giving our CEO a 50 million dollar parachute. We know you worked hard so here's a thank you card and a candy bar"

Wait... You get a candy bar?! Lucky!

"Anyone who took off the day of the eclipse is not entitled to a candy bar."

Certainly cost me a pretty penny to travel to see it. But that's not the narrative NBC is looking for

Ya I paid $100 in gas and $100 for a camp site on someone's private land (same place I camped in 2017). Well worth it tho.

Came here to say this... you beat me to it.

It won’t cost the bosses anything either cause people will likely make up for the lost time later.
