liberals are idiots.
It no longer makes any economic sense for a restaurant to hire full time employees. It costs less to hire 2 people for 30 hours than one person for 40 hours.
It is that simple.
Plus jobs move overseas because the government has made doing business in the US too expensive
From EPA to OSHA to trial lawyers to health care - there are hundreds of reasons for companies to minimize workers, or to simply manufacture their products elsewhere. At the same time, we have the Gov't and its hand-outs encouraging tens of millions of low-skilled workers to stay out of the work force.
10% unemployment is a permanent feature in France and it will be so here in the USA as well.
"Economic sense" is as alien to the communist rejects as the Ten Commandments.
All they know is the government model: success is nothing but a function of receiving funding/subsidies/grants/handouts from the ever-bearing government money tree.
The perverse concept of divorcing market forces from the market is sown early and often, as it is planted in the kiddies' minds all throughout the government school experience. For example: the schools suck the taxpayers dry while perpetuating and promoting the "need" for endless fundraisers. Never is there any thought given to how the schools are p!ssing away the liquid nourishment they already receive, oh no... the taxoholics *always* need more money. The townsfolk and pols (if there are any responsible pols remaining) who demand accountability and fiscal restraint are perceived as stingy, greedy child-haters.
The result is that higher taxes = good, so the higher they go the more "success" for everyone all around. Reality is a fundamental truth that is not only unwelcome, it must be destroyed. Applebee's is excoriated for considering a rational market decision because the offended and outraged have no clue or care about that which dares to exist outside the government model.
The World of Sheker (falsehood) is determined to stamp out the competition.
And here we are, staring down the beast we know as the Obama nation of desolation.
It has to be less than 30 hours.
Obamacare thinks 30 hours is full time.
Watch for the unions to hit employers with that same drivel.
Restaurants need to go to 4 days- 7 hours each—28 hours.
