To the editor,
re: Go For Broke (BroadsheetDAILY October 23)
If I were in retail, this news would scare me to death.
SCIFI is here now with a store owners dream:
No unemployment insurance, no workers comp, no HR problems, no employee IRS reporting etc etc:
In a nutshell: No workers.
How many low paid people will be put out of work when (not if) this selling mode becomes ubiquitous?
And what affect will this type of operation do to the overall American economy, and in fact to the world’s?
While you might think that the costs or implementing this is beyond the average owner, we all should know that its costs will substantially fall over time. This project has unimaginably huge negative and very worrisome ramifications.
