A perverse tentative court ruling here in Cali allows the wages of state employees to be slashed to the federal minimum wage if the state budget is not passed on time.
This ruling is perverse because it punishes a very large group of people (thousands of state employees) because a very small number of people (the California Legislature) cannot agree with Der Gröpenfürher on a state budget when the punished group has virtually no control over that process!!
Of course, in some circles (those populated by "caveman caucus" Republicans), this is going to be a very popular decision. This ruling actually gives such people an incentive to obstruct, stall and delay the budget.
Perverse.
