If you want to stop people from sucking the government dry stop giving them welfare. No tit to run dry
Welfare is fine just take away there ability to vote while on it. That way they can't further entrench themselves with handouts.

Many fortune 500 companies and others now use "temporary workers" from employment agencies to meet their staffing needs.
The companies just pay the agency, the workers are full time and get no benefits of any kind, it's also very easy to fire them when using the agency.
To me, that's disresctful and borderline abusive.
If you want to abuse your employees, go to Africa.
It's good business. It's good for the company and good for the worker. The worker gets to try out the company without having to risk a black mark on his/her resume, and the company gets to try out the worker without having to risk paying unemployment if it doesn't work out.
Temps are hired permanently when they excel. It costs less in the long run to hire someone, but temp jobs allow them to try a worker out before making the commitment.
My wife got all of her best jobs by proving herself as a temp first, and she knew she could bargain for a good salary because the temp agency was charging the company about three times what she was getting paid. That's why she's making $130k a year as a secretary.
Good employees just need an opportunity to prove themselves. Poor employees are the only ones who benefit from an upfront commitment.
"Temps are hired permanently when they excel"
I know many people that have worked as "temps" at the same Fortune 200 company for over 4-5 years, excelling doesn't always make a difference today, the labor market is full of qualified workers willing to take temp jobs.

Well I mean stuff like food stamps is ok however if they are allowed to vote while receiving government aid I believe it is a conflict of interest.

Welfare is what keeps the peace. They don't want to participate in this capitalism scheme and yet they are forced too. Give them enough to survive capitalism and they won't revolt and commit crime and shit.
It's a good deal

If I am negligent you can sue me. If I am not negligent I have already paid huge money into workers' compensation. For carpenters in my business it is about 15% of gross payroll. Discrimination? I sure as shit discriminate and will continue to do so. If you suck, you're gone. If you don't show up, you're gone. If you are a danger, you're gone. If you are a fucking asshole who can't get along with the other workers, you're gone. Piss up a rope if you don't like it.
Make me money or fuck off. This is not a social services agency.

If you don't feel safe or you feel discriminated against, you can choose to not work there.

OK, Neville. Welfare keeps the peace? I'd rather invest in truncheons.
Nobody is forced to participate in capitalism. Everybody is forced to participate in socialism.

That is a very good idea. We can't let people starve in the streets, no matter what zap thinks, so give them the food stamps. But, we do not want to create a voting block of moochers, which we actually do have right now because they will keep voting for more and bigger handouts. Read my sig.
Take the govt handout and your vote is suspended until you get off it. Of course the present goofball admin wants undocumented aliens to vote and says requiring id is "racist" But many here probably believe all that crap

that's a bit too broad for me, although i would agree that both are so intertwined now that there is virtually no distinction between the public and private sectors in many fields. but unlike corporations, government can be changed with enough popular pressure. government, at least in theory, is the only thing standing between the masses and total corporate domination. it's up to us how far we allow things to go.

I'll tell you what happens when govt finally assumes total power over business and the economy, you get Stalinist Russia and commie cuba or n, korea. Anyone want to live there? The sheep think they want it until they find out what its like then its too late.

What about places that don't want to/can't hire full time employees for other reasons. Lots of restaurants, for example, are full of people who only want to work part time. You're essentially forcing employees to work 30 hours even if they don't want to.

setting standards on how you treat your employees is a far cry from a totalitarian communist state. if there are any sheep in this conversation it's those who can't see that distinction.

As I said earlier attempting to coerce business to follow what you think is good is pointless. The more regulations appear the less efficient business is and the poorer the common folk become.

What standards are you pining for? Here are my standard employee treatments. You work. I pay you. If I don't think you are producing enough I cut your pay or fire you. If you are doing well I give you a raise. If I think you are capable I teach you extra even though I know that means you will leave me at some point.
My job sites are very safe. I fire idiots who are dangers to themselves and others rather quickly.

I didn't say anything about a totalitarianism communist state. If both of my employers were forced to have me on 30 hours a week that would put me at 60 hours a week without a day off. No thank you. So my other option would be to quit one job and work 30 hours a week. Also not interested. I'll take no benefits and 50 hours over 5 days over the other two options.

Depends. Laws about workplace safety are reasonable, laws about not beating employees are reasonable, laws about time and a half for overtime are reasonable. Laws forcing employers to make everyone full time are idiotic, don't let obumble hear about it because he will want it done.

One of the reasons why I can't this leftist nonsense that is peddled is due to the fact that it protects the incompetent and cripples the great. All men are not created equal some are naturally superior and they should be allowed to reach there full potential.
