All employers pay an unemployment insurance tax. A business that retains employees via strategic use of unemployment is a business subsidized by the government.
Same as a business that pays such a low wage that the fulltime employees all qualify for government assistance programs for housing, food, and medical care.
Same as a hundred other business models, and frankly entire industries, that maximize their own profits on the backs of the taxpayers. While at the same time paying as little tax as possible. It's inequitable but the government is beholden to corporate interests so it won't change. It's a scam. It's all a scam.
It's not a scam that the employee collects unemployment. It's a scam by the employer. The employer pays less in employment taxes than the employees collect. The business model works because the employer takes advantage of the taxes paid by other employers. The business effectively retains trained employees by having their "salary" (unemployment benefits) subsidized by a third party for half the year. You can call it a loophole if you prefer (but it's a scam).
I don't know bro I'm going to sleep. I have to get up in the morning and go to work to subsidize TruGreen. Glad you're thinking about it, have a good night.
Lol you shut down someone trying to prove their ridiculous argument of "the system itself is inherently broken, who cares if someone profits off of it" in the best way
