    #LOL: "Bernie Sanders has introduced the Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies (STOP BEZOS) Act, which will force any corporation with more than 500 employees to reimburse the government for any workers whose wages are so low that they end up on food stamps, national school lunch/breakfast programs, Section 8 housing or Medicaid." Sounds like @rms is ghost writing #Bernie's backronyms. https://boingboing.net/2018/09/05/stop-bezos.html http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/18097
