I guess if they can’t afford the arbitrary regulations imposed by the behemoth in DC, the “free market” has spoken?
seriously?
We could see every retail level establishment in the country put all their employees on part time schedules because of Obamacare and other needless regulations.... but you think they should all shut down because the “free market has spoken”??
If Obama imposes a 100% tax on business and businesses shut down, its the “free market” that has spoken?
If workers walk off the job and you aren’t allowed to replace them, is that somehow the “free market” too?
Here is the test. If these $8 an hour workers refuse to work, let us see if this business can replace them. If it can with people who are willing to work, then the “free market has spoken”.
‘kay?

I’m sorry I thought we were talking about a specific group of workers. Namely some MickyDs employees in NYC who were trying to get a pay bump from the $8.50 an hour they’re making now.
No other arbitrary regulations were mentioned. I said that if the company couldn’t afford to pay their workers and still stay open then the free market principle had spoken.
They can raise their prices or they can close but labor is a legitimate business expense.
Maybe they can save money on their deliveries by telling whoever they get their fuel from that they can only pay 2 dollars a gallon for fuel.
