Well golly gee willikers. You figured out real fast, who I was referring to. You want a cookie?
Those scumbags who are fucking their people are just using “Obamacare” as an excuse, nothing more. They were starting to do it before the ACA even went into effect. They would love to put everyone on part time with no benefits and they have been moving more and more in that direction for years.
Fraudulent trading, fraudulent foreclosuers, radioactive/toxic “assets”, bailouts, record profits, privatized profits coupled with socialized losses, and mega offshore banking for them, and they demand austerity for the poor working fvcks.
Right now, the Tea Baggers are holding the House and Senate hostage while they have a bitch fit over a bill that has become THE LAW, all legal and proper. They have forced a LOCK OUT (not a shut down, a lock out), and those who are being ordered back to work are in many cases being ordered to work WITHOUT PAY. But the Tea Baggers are still being paid. Fvck the Tea Baggers.
But I really don’t give a good god damn what you believe. I just got tired of “hearing” it. all. the. fvcking. time.
No, actually, it isn’t. Except WRT intelligence, education, wisdom, common sense, imagination, creativity, esthetic sensibilities, ethics, morality, compassion, kindness, honesty both moral and intellectual, deserved credibility, and suchlike inconsequential trifles.
No one is fucking their employees; what they’re doing is trying to operate as profitably as possible, which after all is what allows them to stay in business. And despite your litany of abuses and so-called abuses, the things you’re complaining about involve what is in actuality a tiny percentage of American businesses. Most are nowhere near large enough, sophisticated enough and profitable enough to engage in the kinds of activities you’re broad-brushing with. Most are small or relatively small companies that have been burdened for years with ever-increasing governmentally imposed financial obligations, restrictions and paperwork. Many are struggling simply to stay alive. So yeah, if the government in its wisdom decides to exempt part-time employees from the burdens of health care (a burden which I don’t think should be their responsibility in the first place, especially since employees can quite on a whim at moment’s notice), I certainly see nothing wrong with their taking advantage of it, for competitive reasons if no other - if one fast food restaurant or auto parts store cuts its employees back to less than 30 hours and another doesn’t, guess who’s going to lower prices and guess who’s going to go out of business.
If you don’t like the fact that businesses take advantage of governmentally created loopholes when they can, then blame the lawmakers. The reason we have lawmakers is to determine what we can do and what we can’t. You might as well bitch because people are driving 45 mph on a road posted as such when you think the limit ought to be 25.
And as far as you being tired of hearing your opponents’ never-ending bitching, I can assure you they are every bit as tired if not more so of listening to that coming from your side. Richard Gephart once observed that politics is a substitute for violence, and when the reporter he made that comment to grinned as though Gephart was kidding, Gephart assured him that it was the truth. I have no doubt that without a system to create these laws which allow much of the behavior you’re so incensed about we all be shooting at each other.
So it could be worse, and I assure you once again that you’re not the only one fed up with hearing crap coming from the other side.
I’m aware that you’re entire world view is constructed around this fiction, but the behavior of most of the liberal posters in this thread alone is sufficient to put the lie to every aspect of the notion.
Piffle, as pointed before I did not post the first reply to you with insults, that then you decided to ignore what others besides FOX had reported, that was insulting. And as even Forbes can tell you , the crap on this issue is coming from your side.
No, actually it proves nothing except for what Walmart has found works best for it. I seriously doubt that anyone is going to notice a better customer experience at their local auto parts store or dog groomer’s because the person who waited on them is a part-timer vs. full timer.
Walmart needs a certain caliber of employee to assure that stock comes in the back door, gets accounted for properly, makes it onto the shelf in a highly timely fashion, and checked out properly at its check stands. If it begins to have problems keeping employees around to perform these duties, many of which take place in the middle of the night, it cannot stay in business. My experiences with more than a few Walmarts would indicate that its alleged concern for the quality of its customers’ experience has not been much in view for a great many years now, and yet there have always been long lines at the check stands.
“No one is fucking their employees; what they’re doing is trying to operate as profitably as possible, which after all is what allows them to stay in business.”
It turns out that the dick move of making most of their jobs to be part time did bite them in the ass. So the point stands, to remain in businesses Wall-mart is backtracking from the idea that you thought was a nice loophole; so yeah what you said was crap indeed.
Sorry, but I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. First you posted a response to my comment about what Obama said by pointing out a distinction without a difference, namely that when he said there was no widespread evidence of employers cutting back hours due to the ACA, it didn’t mean that it wasn’t happening to some degree. I replied (right away, I might add) that the term “no widespread evidence” itself carries the implication that it was going on to some degree. To the best of my recollection that was the end of our conversation on the subject, with the thread then devolving into nonsense regarding Woody Allen.
As I said, I know that English is not your first language and when you said nothing else I figured you understood what I was talking about and accepted my explanation. Again, there is nothing in the phrase “no widespread evidence” that precludes all activity whatsoever. If, as BrainGlutton likes to pretend, you as a liberal are immersed in scholarly surroundings, you might want to ask the next passing English professor if this is not so.
Then “going on to some degree” is not a good basis to then follow with complete sweeping affirmations that what we are saying is crap, it does indeed mean that overall we are more on the money.
I was speaking in generalities of a huge country’s worth of businesses, most of which are small, as my post make perfectly clear. You are (in my opinion dishonestly) trying to use the example of a single enormous retailer to try to prove me wrong. It’s a cheap tactic that fools no one even though it’ll probably garner you backslapping from the more dishonest among your political cohort.
I would phrase it that according to the president you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.
ETA: Plus I didn’t say that what people were saying on this issue was crap. That was in regard to SteveG1’s complaints about right wing politics, with my crap comment referring likewise to left wing politics.
Once again you’re playing your little game of trying to keep me tied up all night with semantic word games, and once again I’m compelled to tell I ain’t gonna play that shit.
No, the cheap dishonest thing is apparent to others when you show here that you did not read the article cited and learned that it also refereed to other retailers like Home Depot doing the right thing and not going out of business. So no,** it was not just about a single retailer**, so more crap from you.
