My nephew denied a job because of Obamacare!

[FelixDeCat]

My nephew has been applying for a forklift job but has been told that they are only hiring temps right now on occassion as needed because its too expensive to hire with Obamacare looming.

The Black Magic Kenyan is going to run up another trillion in debt and force people to work as temps. :'(

 

[zinfamous]

right. blame Obamacare.

Perhaps your nephew should re-invest in a more modern skill set?

Unfortunately he is just a common laborer at the moment with a certificate to drive certain types of fork lifts. He was working for General Mills around here but is now in El Paso with his hoochie mama lookin' for a job.

El Paso / East New Mexico is a terrible job market and increasing employee expenses does not help.

Businesses love excuses for treating workers like crap. They are probably loving Obamacare, it is a great boogeyman.

The nerve to suggest the nephew is to blame. That pos obama has no right to put in obamacare and stuff like this is going to become more common

Its not racist you derp.

The inspiration came from one of my old favorites:

"Black Magic Woman" is a song written by Peter Green that first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1968, subsequently appearing on the 1969 Fleetwood Mac compilation albums English Rose (US) and The Pious Bird of Good Omen (UK). It became a classic hit by Santana in 1970

The post above suggests that the job market is bad in the area, adding soaring healthcare costs just makes it worse for everyone.

Hey dumbass was the song written by a Kenyan?

He doesnt need to. Its called stinging satire and he is taking jobs away with his nonsense.

Oh maybe next time you could phrase it differently which doesn't paint you as a racist.

Awesome,

Word of mouth has gone from "You didn't get the job because of Affirmative Action" to "You didn't get the job because of Obamacare."

Sure beats telling people "We didn't hire you because we don't want you to work here"

It's easier to blame something else than to say you just weren't wanted.

This, but I'd take it a step further. Companies will be using this as yet another excuse in their race to the bottom with regards to wages/benefits.

I went deer hunting last weekend with some republicans, at the end of the hunt they were absolutely certain that the reason we didn't see any deer was because of Obamacare

 

[Incorruptible]

right, secret muslim kenyan obama is to blame.

we know your schtick, Incorruptible. It impresses no one.

Because he imposed extra costs on a business, they have to cut costs somehow and this is what happened. The fact that this guy couldn't get a job because of obamacare any many others will be screwed is enough to get rid of obamacare

I suppose healthcare for deer would be expensive during that time frame.

We certainly can't blame the messiah, now can we?

That won't happen. The libs will see our economy crash and burn before they admit they're wrong.

 

[sactoking]

I think to say "He didn't get a job because of the Affordable Care Act" is premature.

A more appropriate statement would be "He didn't get a job because of economic uncertainty", which is most likely true. That the ACA contributes to economic uncertainty does not lead to causation as to the statement in the thread title.

 

[buckshot24]

The OPs nephew may or may not have lost a job opportunity because of Obamacare.

This much is clear, when you cause employees to cost businesses more money there will be less employees than there otherwise would have been.

Just like how the Republicans did?

 

[ch33zw1z]

Sounds like it's time for a new career, or to apply somewhere else.

 

[Incorruptible]

Working with the Democrats and the Fed?

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Those that hate Obamacare and all things democratic would have you believe that employees are hired or fired soley based on the employment costs of said employee.
If that where the case it would be easy to run a business, have 0 employees, 0 employment expenses and keep all your profits $$$.

Claiming your laying off or foregoing hiring because of a particular government policy is dishonest and playing politics plain and simple. Anybody that actually runs their business this way is not too bright and deserves what they get.
