Hi Mick--

I want to post that I share a lot of your concerns. I agree that this is only the tip of the iceberg and dark days are likely ahead.

Lowering labor costs is easy when the economy is stalled and workers are grateful for any opportunity.

8) Companies will not hire back older/more experienced workers because companies want to cut labor costs.

10) The broader group of freelancers, temps, and subcontractors who have few legal protections will be the first to go when the economy sputters.

12) And tens of millions will lose their health insurance.  Of course, the good news is they won’t be able to afford food for long enough to need the health insurance.  So there’s that.

Looks like Ellen Degeneres of the Ellen Show is at the forefront of these changes:

Started going downhill for Ellen last fall, when this horrifying photo hit the web. Think of it, a lesbian befriending a former Republican President. The horrors!
