“you absolutely should NOT have to do ANYTHING EVER FOR ANY OF YOUR EMPLOYEES that you do not freely agree to in a private setting. That the law apparently requires you to do so, is a very bad thing.”
Oh I do agree to it, apparently its in the fine print when you start a business. Fortunately my rates are really low so I only have to pay about 2% of salarys for the insurance.
If it’s in the fine print, and you didn’t put it there, then you didn’t give it freely. Look, I’m on your side—you are an EMPLOYER, something I will never be because I am risk averse. You create jobs and move America forward. You DO NOT OWE YOUR EMPLOYEES ONE SINGLE DAMN THING that you do not agree to. Or at least that would be the case in a civilized nation. You should not be forced to give x to your employees nor should billionaires.
