You don’t have to have owned a business to understand the economics and the problems the government puts on them. You also don’t know what I’ve done throughout my life so don’t make assumptions. Do you think that employees today don’t understand those problems? Most work very hard to make sure that their employers are successful and are willing to make sacrifices to keep everything running and to stay employed. Too many employers I’ve seen these days take advantage of their employees and treat them like slaves because they know the employees don’t have much choice. We’re not talking about a situation of not being able to afford to hire or expand; those employers aren’t advertising for employees. We’re talking about employers who will not hire qualified long term unemployed but will hire someone less qualified who is already employed somewhere else. It’s those who are hiring, just not hiring qualified people who have spent a long time working part time and/or looking for ANY job to stay afloat.
Actually, you do. Now I'm sure that a lot of folks who never have run or owned one would agree with you, but I'm also quite sure that 100% of those who HAVE run or owned a business...would totally disagree with you. (in context, a business large enough to have hired and fired employees over a period of time).
THINK ABOUT THIS: those of us who HAVE run or owned a biz - one lived in the ignorance of not having done it - and we ALL know that there is absolutely no way to understand this til you've done it. Until you have run one, you cannot possibly compare the understanding of owning one versus the ignorance of not owning one. Logic. By definition, intrinsically and inherently so.
