Propark America, which operates 31 parking garages and lots around New Haven, is laying off 186 employees in January.

The Hartford-based company filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notice Nov. 20 with the Connecticut Department of Labor. The notice indicates that the layoffs are scheduled to begin on Jan. 20 and does not indicate whether all of the employees are being laid off at once.

The WARN Act is a federal law requiring employers of 100 or more full-time workers to give 60 days advance notice of a plant closing or mass layoff...

Amen. May it continue a hundred fold.

I'm not usually a vindictive person, but when it comes to deep blue Marxist states, I'm learning to be. With joy.

When Liberace was alive, he was one of the biggest shows in Vegas. He had a flair for grand entrances and he always gave his audiences their money’s worth in entertainment.

One of the parts of the beginning of his show, he would show the audience all his bejewelled fingers, diamonds, emeralds and whatever else he was wearing that probably cost more than any member of the audience made in a year’s salary. He would say, “Do you like my new rings?” followed by a short pause as he waved them in the bright lights, then he would continue, “I hope so, you paid for them!”

He never forgot that his wealth came from those he entertained and showed them his appreciation.

From now on, whenever I hear of layoffs and plant closings in blue states I will grin like Liberace and say, “I hope you like your new country......You voted for it!”.................

The company will implement a "new method of employing associates," it said in a statement.

1099-ing them or going to a temp agency model. I suspect Obamacare is the root cause. The company is shedding employees to get below the magic numbers.

“Bronco Bama. You voted for him, now own it !”

Bronco Bama, now there’s a badass name. If I was Obama, I’d change my name to Bronco Bama.

Then, I’d totally live up to it.

Hey Pukin Putin, next time there’s a Russian Nuke off the eastern seaboard, look up and wave to the Buff Drivers. They’re over 8 of your largest cities.

Hey China, you don’t like the 7th Fleet in the South China Sea ? Well get ready to say hello to the 8th and 9th fleets, cause they’re a comin ! I’d say we put those trillions we borrowed to good use, don’t you ?

Yeah England, I know I returned the bust of Churchill, but that’s only because I needed to make room for a Life Size Statue !!

Hey Egypt, sorry about what happened to Benghazi. The half life is wicked long, but maybe you can make it a tourist destination like Chernobyl.

Yo Israel, you got room for a couple of Marine Divisions near Gaza ? Them IDF girlz are HAWT !! They’ll make good company for the devil dogs.

Hey Mehico, como esta ? Since we can’t protect our border, I’ve decided we’re moving it south. How far ? Hmmmmmmm, I’m thinking THE EQUATOR. Say goodbye to la migra and say hello to Los Rangers Tejanos :)

Mayor Bing, time to put Detroit to work. I’ve just contracted to purchase 2000 bulldozers from caterpillar that will help with the clean up. Time to make a cleeeeeeeeen slate !!

There’s a new sheriff in town, and his name is THE BRONC !

When it comes to my family and the America I grew up in, I am very vindictive. I would love to see all the deep blue states and their citizens fall into bankruptcy, chaos, and despair. Screw them.

I'm right with you, LH. This is nothing less than war. And in war, it is imperative that you HATE the enemy, almost to a frenzy. You cannot win otherwise. (see my tag line.)

This is going to be deeply problematic for the employers down the road if this is their strategy. 1099 "contractors" must meet very specific IRS criteria - you can't just make an employee a "contractor" with a magic wave of your wand because there are certain perks you want to avoid.

Not saying any of this protectionism isn't right, I'm just pointing to the fine line of prosecution they are walking.

Good insight, I’m sure you’re correct. And the replacements likely will all be “29ers”.

Should be a bull market for staffing agencies in 2013.
