It’s interesting Hillary is running against the Obama economy she helped to create.
And the abuses of the Clinton economy (NAFTA), which also hurt the middle class.
Who would vote for her?
Yeahhhh,,, we kinda already picked up on that whole temp disposable workforce thing.
Then, they will find, albeit altogether too late to save their sorry business hides, that loyalty is a two way street. If you are loyal to the workers which are producing your profits, then they will largely return that loyalty to your company.
If, on the other hand you betray your workers, then you can expect disloyalty in return. And *THAT* can cost you more in lost profits than any amount of chicanery could ever net you. This is something those fancy MBA's are apparently *not* learning in their high-tuition schools, which will bite them in sensitive areas, when they least expect it...

I’m not a fan of government-run healthcare, but we do need to decouple health-care insurance from employment.
Women are... catty. They know other women are crazy.
Black and Hispanics men will never vote for a woman.
Hillary’s only audience are lesbians and old liberal women.
Bernie has the young people and true leftists. Hillary is now too conservative for her own party.
In the final years of the Clinton presidency, my sister worked for a temp firm in the Los Angeles area. She said that there was a steep increase in temp placements during those last two years indicating a very strong weakness in the economy. Of course, Bush got blamed for the economic downturn since the traditional indicators went south shortly after he was inaugurated.
So there have been other periods when increased temp employment is associated with a pessimistic view of employers that don’t want to take on more permanent employees. The ACA just makes it so much worse.
It’s interesting that the authors of this article are willing to throw rocks at the businesses for their practices, but they fail to accept blame for supporting the ACA, which makes the economic problems so acute.
Stupid people don't realize that they are already "paying" the other half of the Social Security payroll tax. An employer has to treat that as the cost of having an employee and takes it into account when your salary is set.

I don't understand the complaint. I was called many names for wanting to do the same thing for myself.
It appears Romney was off by two points!
That has always been the problem...socialists have stupid utopian ideas...but so do the stupid “free labor market” morons on the right. Well, to be fair, only the politicians and some talk show/journalists types on the right are stupid...the people perpetrating this know perfectly well what they are doing.
There was never going to be any other end to this (which should have been obvious to anyone with a decent IQ). When you export manufacturing and import cheap labor to fill the lesser jobs that are left, there was absolutely nowhere to go but to achieve an “equilibrium” re: standard of living with shit-holes of the world.
Seeing this in the banking industry. Churn and burn.
I don't understand the complaint.
Yeah, neither do I! It's like complaining about having to wipe your own *ss. I WISH that I could have taken all those S.S. payments I was forced to make and invested them! The return would have been much higher.

I find myself explaining this often but usually just get the “deer in the headlights” look while doing so.
This is also where democratic forms of government break down, because eventually this arrangement only works in situations that are economically untenable over time: where most people work for government, or where most people work for large corporations that function as an arm of the government and work under government mandates.
That's exactly what a company is doing when it fires its workers and re-hires them as contractors.
That may be. My female friends are huge fans of Hillary and they are all 60 plus.
I don't usually trust polls, but most have Hillary as the likely choice. However, Bernie is closing in. It will be interesting to see which demographic wins the nomination: Lesbians/old women or the younger free stuff crowd.
Permatemping, which is the name of this practice, indicates that the economy is in an unhealthy and unnatural state. Healthy economies do not require cost dodges, risk offloading, and/or other similar mechanisms for labor markets.
Permatemping tends to decouple the work ethic as well. Europe’s rampant use of contractors combined with decoupled health care systems have reduced the motivation to work. In the US, it acts as a coping mechanism for a stagnant economy.
