A lot of those employers won’t be able to continue to offer the benefit of a job, let alone health insurance. I hope all those tools who voted for Obama understand just how critical entreprenurial skills are becoming. Soon it’s going to be create your own job or government teat.
In the work force, it's a constant trade-off between labor and automation. If the total cost of having a human do a job is less than buying a machine to do the job, then I'll hire the human. Otherwise I'll hire the machine. And there WILL be a machine available to do the job if humans get expensive enough, or the job just won't get done.
