    Idk. Business leadership typically does take actions its employees don’t like if it helps the owners/shareholders. I often hear politicians/policymakers argue for things that will “hurt” (austerity, increasing unemployment to lower inflation, phasing out social security, war, opposing UBI, opposing universal healthcare, etc). I guess not all of those are extremely unpopular, but that’s mostly because people have been convinced they’re needed. The right, in particular, seems focused on things like sacrifice and punishment.
