      It's something you disagree with, but that's separate from crazy talk. It's a foundational goal of labor movement, which is decades old, global, and filled with millions of non-crazy people.

          David Lewis of the NDP in the 1970s mused about working-class people having 'ownership' of their job, every bit as meaningful as capitalists owning property (likely moreso) This is pretty standard democratic socialist thought

          ownership of their job and "right to employment" are completely different even serfs had a "jobs guarantee" so nobody is going to take that away, unless they take away your "right to pay rent" first

          Replying to @HeerJeet @dmarusic @jbouie

          It's crazy talk in the sense that there is no plausible originalist reading of the "privileges and immunities" clause that would confer a right to employment on Americans.

          Replying to @JamesSurowiecki @HeerJeet and

          You could read the general welfare statement in the U.S. Constitution as a justification for declaring a right to employment. This has nothing to do with originalism - which is basically a guise for justifying the nation's White Supremacist framework and anti-democratic rule.

          Its also in the constitution of other countries, and it is seen as aspirational (but all rights are aspirational, none of them are upheld 100%).

          It’s crazy talk if you are claiming that a court might agree with that interpretation.
