Wendy's franchisee slashes worker hours to sidestep ObamaCare


Recommended Posts

The socialist idea is so naive... People want to make companies responsible for this or that, the government should help this or that, the benefits should be given to poor A or B.

What they don't see is that if this works, that is because in your country 99% of the people don't actually need those benefits, because they can take care of themselves. Then it is easy to be a socialist, because you only have to take care of 1% of poor ********, non-educated, kid-making irresponsible people.

The US is a big developed country, but it has a mass of poor people, immigrants and non-educated ******** that are fast becoming much more than 30% of the population. The more you want the other 70% to pay for the 30% lack of competence, education and huge familie's benefits, the more YOUR country will become poorer and those 70% will be actually the inverse 30%.

Be careful what you wish for, because you can get it.

I think you're missing the fact that this is fast food. if you're making a career out of this you better be a damn manager or owner. This is a job for students, not adults.

Back to the point that, some pele do NOT have a choice.

so we've got two options before us

1. go along with Obamacare and likely bankrupt the business and no one has a job

2. cut hours to by-pass obamacare and everyone except management needs to get second jobs if they don't already have one.

Except that the nations that DO have an NHS (themselves big, developed countries) prove that social healthcare can and does, work.

or 3.

Drop Obamacare for now, go back to how it was before, and actually come up with a proper healthcare solution instead of a half-assed one. First step there is to look at all the nations around world with an NHS system, and look at what they did both right and wrong.

Once you then have a working proposal, get the people themselves to vote on it, not the politicians as we all know that every damn one of them is in the pockets of businesses that stand to lose out, like big pharma and insurance.

Seta-san, watch out for the abuse of some users here... They're simply trolling while trying to be discreet, monosyllabic, or provoking you to respond over and over... Don't be a fool. It happened to me before.

Then again, they have a much lower population of people in general combined with high per-capita revenue. Of course it works.

Brazil also has NHS and the service is s***, only used by very poor people and it's a huge source of corruption. The US has a comparable population number with that of Brazil's.

It won't work.

Alot of these fast food places and stores were already slashing hours before obama care.

All these places around here, including all fast food , and stores such as walmart have been part time since before Obama was even invented.

Sensational story is sensational.

I would have to agree.

When I was younger and worked fast food, no employees were allowed over 30 hours a week. Only management. I thought this was normal anyway.

Very sensational indeed.

^ Brazil is also full of corrupt officials. Hardly surprising then, that something like an NHS doesn't work, is it?

Well... corruption thrives over ignorant populations. How's education going in the US right now?

It's never too late to begin a bad approach to go downhill, isn't it?

Yes. Maybe it should provide NHS and fine those poor, miserable people that have more than two kids to give it to the government to take care of? Like providing public schools, health, etc... Or NHS itself should sterilize miserable women and men after having a limit of two kids? That is a good NHS system that would be good in the long-term.

You're resorting to hyperbole to attempt to prove your argument, and failing badly.

Again, the vast majority of nations with an NHS system are able to run it fine, without resorting to the ridiculous measures you mention.

Why? Well, I'd say a good part of that is due to the much lower levels of corruption. Sort out that, and you solve a lot of the potential problems.

"Just bring the sun closer if you're feeling cold..."

It's sad that in some years from today, your opinions will be absolutely proven wrong, with the total decay of the United States. You'll be like Brazil. China is taking over the world and THEY have implemented what I mentioned what you call "ridiculous".

But then, I'll tell you: "just get over corruption and your educational problems and you'll be back on shape". Then you just bring the sun closer to you when you're feeling cold.

Once corruption takes over democracies... you don't take it away. Ever.

If you like posing as the good guy, as socialists like to be, keep in mind that only it looks good when the outlook is good. It's not the case.

Just for the record: I think Obama is better than the GOP right now. But he is far, very far from being perfect.

^ Umm.. Take a look at my location...

Good. lol

Then again, it's easy to be a socialist when you live in developed europe or when you're a teenager or young guy.

3 is never going to happen. Democrats are too busy trying to prop up Obama as some sort of ****ing messiah to ever admit that they ****ed up by passing a law that no one read.

Social healthcare is not the same as socialist politics. Anyone who thinks they are, truly ARE fools.

Personally, I don't Obama is any worse OR better than any of the other presidents you've had since.. well, ever, I guess!

There's a start for everything. As Obama is a center guy (not really left), I hope he stops at this point, regarding excessive social politics that are good for mediocre voters and vagabonds, but bad for the rest.

Also, if there was a true right-wind party in the US (not some ugly psychopaths), it would be good for the country right now.

So, basically, it's a dick move by all. Nothing like your employer ****ing you over to a save a few bucks. Lovely.

^ What do you expect from a society that prides itself in being inherently selfish?

Maybe you want it like in France? Taxing the income of an 'average good income' in 75%?

What if you're making 500 grand a year, because you studied hard, worked hard and now you have to keep only 25% of your income to 'help the poor'?

That's what socialism does. And it IS doing it.

Funny that, cos the 75% tax is only for the super rich (i.e. people who earn a fantastical amount a year) and isn't being implemented as the French PM killed it.

And you clearly misunderstand tax - tax doesn't go to help the poor, it goes to pay for all sorts of government services that EVERYONE uses.

Wait, how the **** big is this Wendy's that has over 100 non-management workers?

Um...

100 workers in non-management positions at 11 Omaha-area Wendy's

I'm not French either. Taking 75% of your wages is, IMO, nothing but theft.

Of course, ARE they really taking that much? I have no idea how the French income tax system works, only the UK's, but over here, when you fall into the higher tax brackets, you only pay the higher rate on the amount within the higher tax braclet.

So, for example, If you earned ?55,000 a year, and the higher tax bracket started at ?50,000, the you would pay the lower tax rate on the first ?50,000 (minus a tax free portion amount we have over here), then the higher rate on ?5,000.

If the French work their system like that, then they're not being taxed 75% of their income, just a portion of their income. That's still too much, but not as bad as the scaremongers would have you believe. Of course, if the French tax system doesn't work like that, it gets worse again, but we probably need a French person's input on that.

Either way, there's still a chunk of scaremongering going on from the media.
