I hate to break it to you 4chan dwelling normie fucking stupid shit head, but that 25 hrs a week is not because of the Affordable Care Act. It's because of greedy capitalist fucks who are squeezing you for every cent they give you to maximize profit margins well beyond what they need to for a healthy business model.
Yeah that stuck out at me too. I love how the conservative media has thoroughly convinced the average dimwitted moron from flyover states that all of their problems are because of Obamacare and not because of the greed of their employer and the laws that they have enticed Congress to enact in their favor to prevent them from having to employ people full time.
Obamacare includes a minimum hour exemption and it should have been obvious to the authors of the bill that employers would cut hours to hit that mark.
If you think cutting hours to avoid providing benefits originated with Obamacare, then I've got a bridge to sell you
I think Obamacare was designed to accommodate it and give an additional incentive to do it.
You're expecting people who are worth a minimum of 7 figures to consider the plight of people who struggle to maintain 5 figures. Companies were already lowering time employees worked to begin with regardless.
I'm saying the ACA was a bad bill that was never intended to help anyone but insurance companies. We shouldn't be shocked that it includes workarounds for other businesses. Of course it does. Obama and the others who passed it knew that when they passed it. Thats why they wrote it that way.
True enough. It's your typical Democrat work, make a half measure that doesn't readily improve the situation but looks like it can.
It's kinda both. The ACA was based on Heritage Foundation work that was done for the benefit of insurance companies. Not much consideration was put into the behaviors it would incentivize in employers.
Healthy businees model will not cut it these days. Infinite growrh or your investors abandon you.
They were keeping people below full time hours to begin with, it just got lowered to squeeze that extra penny from their buttholes.
The capitalist fucks are swinging the whip. The 25-hour limit is the whip they are swinging. Both are a problem.
So it's because of Biden? I will not listen to your sourced explanation BTW
