The pros and cons of regulating business
The biggest problem with the regulation of business by government is that most of the people who compose the government never owned and operated a business of their own. Don't take my word for it, read the words of the late Senator George McGovern: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?r102:S04JN2-163.
That being said, it's important to remember that one of the goals of regulating businesses is to protect them as well as their customers and their employees. I suspect that if we were to ask the customers of LA Payroll, a relatively small payroll company that appears to have ripped off 150 or so small business owners of an estimated $4 million. Tovmas Grigoryan, owner of the company has allegedly absconded with the money and fled the country. Time will tell if this is true or not, but in the meantime a whole lot of people are faced with paying payroll tax bills that they had been assured LA Payroll would pay. One small business owner has already laid off one of his employees because he's out $30,000.
The Federal government doesn't regulate payroll companies. California's government doesn't regulate payroll companies. At least not a level of regulation that requires these companies to be bonded. That's something that needs to change. If I owned a small business, I could handle my own payroll. Most small business owners can't. It's a thankless, onerous job. They can use a company like ADP, but they're a bit more expensive.
As for the moronic individuals who used this as an opportunity to display their bigotry by claiming you can't trust any Armenian, I feel sorry for you. No one nationality has a monopoly on dishonesty, just as no one race, religion or any other categorization does.

When I was a military cop, no matter what else I was doing, I was on the lookout for drunk drivers. I've never lost a family member to DUI (and pray that streak of good luck continues). Why this particular crime bothered me so much is something I never fully understood.
But maybe that's why the six deaths at the hand of a 21 year old woman who had already been convicted of DUI really angers me. DUI is an entirely preventable crime. I know lots of people who think they're okay to drive after they've had just a few. They don't grasp the fact that they are impaired enough to slow their ability to react. They've just been very fortunate for a period of time and the law of averages will probably catch up to them someday. Just as you can't convince some people of their mortality, you can't make them understand that after a certain point, alcohol in the bloodstream is going to make you a much greater risk on the roads. So unless we did something draconian like making every patron of a location that serves alcohol surrender their car keys when they walk in; and then have use the breathalyzer to blow a legal BAC of .07 or lower before they get the keys back, we can't prevent the first-time DUI offender.
The repeat offender is another matter entirely. Studies of first-time DUI offenders and those with multiple DUI offenses show that the recidivism rate between the two groups is roughly the same. In other words, once someone gets busted for DUI, the odds that they will do it again are higher than the rest of the population. Therefore, once someone has a DUI conviction, stronger actions should be taken than are currently the norm.
If I had "my druthers", every single person who pleads guilty to, or is convicted of a DUI would be required to install an interlock device on every vehicle they own or drive. Without exception. As long as that interlock device is in use, they would be unable to commit another DUI.

Now that the ranting by AOL's CEO Tim Armstrong about how two employee pregnancies were going to force the company to make changes to their benefits plan (and then he backed down), there's a question to be explored. How did he know that two of his employees had incurred such large claims? Especially when we have that HIPAA law that's supposed to protect the privacy of health information.
To understand, we have to take a quick look at how health insurance works with large employers. Many of them choose to use a method of providing health benefits to their employees through fully or partially funded self-insurance. There is an insurance company involved, but in the case of a fully funded self-insurance plan, the employer pays the claims as well as a fee to the insurance company to administer the program. Partially self-funded differs in that the employer has purchased insurance from the insurance company for "shock" claims (very large claims in one plan year) and/or purchased coverage to cap their annual exposure. They still pay out claims up to a point, and that administrative fee.
Insurance companies administering these self-funded plans for employers must provide information about claims, although there isn't supposed to be any information given that would allow the employer to determine which employee incurred which claims. That's a nice ideal but it doesn't work that way in the real world.
I used to work for a large company that used the partial self-funding method. The chairman and CEO of the company poured over those claims reports as though every dime mattered. I went to the emergency room once and got a lecture afterward about not going to the ER unless I went to a doctor first (which I had done). I knew that by going to the doctor before going to the ER I wouldn't be liable for the one-time deductible of $250 for an ER visit.
He went to the desk of another employee to upbraid her in front of her co-workers about costing him too much money in health benefits. She quit shortly thereafter, saying she couldn't take the pressure of him trying to force her to not use her health benefits.
Not all employers are like that. But some do misuse the information they get access to, and if you work for a large employer, be warned. They very well may know more about what you do with your health insurance benefits than you think they do.

Random Ponderings:
If Bruce Jenner starts wearing skirts, would that make him "TransJennered"? Don't blame me, I heard it on TMZ.
If you crossed Larry Miller from Sit and Sleep and Larry H. Parker the accident attorney, would you get a mattress that will fight for you?
I think it's more amazing that Jason Belmonte was ABLE to toss a 300 game while wearing Google Glass rather than the fact he was wearing it while in competition. I think it would be a major distraction.
So how did former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin manage to be found not-guilty on one of the 21 charges against him? A jury convicts on 20 out of 21?
Mariah Carey brought her own lighting team in...for a radio interview? We need a word for something more diva than diva.
While I'm not convinced that Lindsay Lohan is beyond her substance abuse issues, she is the ideal actress to portray Stevie Nicks in a biopic.
I'm disappointed that the candidate I think would be the best replacement for Harry Waxman won't be running.
Why shouldn't Derek Jeter announce 2014 will be his last? After seeing the farewell tours of other big-time pro athletes, he'd be foolish not to. Then again, if you check out this clip at around the three minute mark, you'll see what could happen on a farewell tour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E4TmZG-gWI.
Why all the fuss about Hilary Clinton describing Monica Lewinsky as a "narcissistic loony tune?" It was said for public consumption and it's also highly accurate.
On a related note, if the best Senator Rand Paul has in his arsenal is to raise the issue of Hilary's reaction to Bill's infidelity, he should just quit now.
Maybe the feminist who is claiming that Air New Zealand's use of Sports Illustrated swimsuit models in a safety video is objectification of women should start with Sports Illustrated? The airline didn't make the use of models in bikinis famous.
What does it say about our society that we're more interested in Taylor Swift's latest haircut than we are in the fact there's a debt ceiling bill making progress in Congress.
After reading the comments of Nicole Miller's co-founder and CEO Tom Konkeim that the 99% should stop whining, it isn't surprising to learn he went to Exeter and then on to Dartmouth. What is surprising is that he apparently managed to do that without learning some of the basic principles of economics. Otherwise he would understand that the equivalent of earning $35,000 in the U.S. doesn't translate to earning $35,000 in India.
