Simpler yes, but for a variety of reasons, I'm not a huge advocate of socialized healthcare.
I do support socialized health insurance though (big difference).
But I thought the progressive argument was that welfare produced twice as much economic activity that it costs to put out, or some such BS...?
just for clarification, employers shouldn't have to offer medical or retirement benefits....."Employers should not be required to offer benefits..."

well, I suppose that none of us KNOW what is coming....Just for clarification, if you penalize employers who use overtime or part time workers, you are reimposing Blue Laws in effect and businesses will be closed on holidays and weekends when everybody else is off work and wanting to go shopping. It is a bad concept because it will never comport with the needs of commerce.

Jobs that require 24/7 attendance will be a snag, but easier to overcome than massive structural unemployment.
I worked rotating shifts for a time, it wasn't pleasant, but it was required.....it was a nuclear power plant.
People who have to work weekends can be given time off during the week. Postal workers get a day off during the week
to compensate for working saturdays. A day off during the week is nice, you can go shopping without having to fight the traffic and crowds.
As for the needs of commerce, they probably said that when work weeks were far more than 40 hours.
Commerce can just adapt to the needs of society. Having lower unemployment is better over all.

Here's a question for everybody.
Do you believe that the captains of industry, the owners, the 1%, whatever you want to call them, in this country, would let us slide into a near permanent depression if it meant adding a little more to their bottom line?

unless they have agreed to it by contract, is there anything requiring them to offer retirement and medical benefits
no, blue laws forbade businesses from operating during those (usually religious) spansJust for clarification, if you penalize employers who use overtime or part time workers, you are reimposing Blue Laws in effect and businesses will be closed on holidays and weekends when everybody else is off work and wanting to go shopping.

You mean other than Obamacare (for medical)?
Not really. No business is going to close during a peak shopping time to avoid hiring more workers.
Sales is what creates profits, not cutting operating expenses. Without sales, it's impossible for a company to make money. Without operating expenses, it's also impossible for a company to make money. So why would any business chose to cut operating expenses at the cost of a reduction sales?

Businesses do not have much control over their sales.
