Re: here's exactly what smart businesses are going to do.
compassion has got everything to do with it...
He operates his business with solid economic principles or his employees and himself are out of work... simple as that.
When a mandate comes along that requires a business to either pay for a mandated benefit, AND\OR, pay a fine, the prudent, and wise employer will take the least costly option.
Or, given no choice but to pay up, the employer WILL reduce other employee benefits, and\or staff, and\or raise prices to the consumer (you and I)... and\or walk away from the business completely.
Something has to give... NOTHING is free... that estimated trillion dollars (which will be much more than that) must come from somewhere - how much do you have in your account?
Those who voted for, and are orgasming over this act, discuss the topic as if it is FREE, with no cost to themselves... If they truly believe that, they are all hopelessly lost out in lala land somewhere.
