And any positions that are paying minimum wage aren't hiring full time for those positions, that means more than one job which increases transportation costs and reduces free time.

    And they do that so they don't have to provide health insurance, which means the employee will have to pay for their own and thats expensive. Highly predatory.

    This is a reason I feel like public health care should be a bipartisan issue. Business people should love not having to do health insurance for employees.
