There are 2 competing $ amounts here:
- - cost of insurance
- - cost of employees
You say that business save money (which they then pass on to the
consumer) because the extra payroll expenses are more than made up
by reduced insurance costs.
That's just crap.
Someone in the other 48 states would have figured that out by now,
and every gas station in the country would have converted back to
full-service.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
