Ridiculous, they will probably follow other companies by cutting employees hours.
Hobby Lobby just opened a store near us in NJ, and after living with so much pc garbage for years, we were happily surprised to see they call a Christmas tree a Christmas tree in the store!

Selective Preferencing, another violation of the Civil Rights Acts, right on down to all their current Exempt Ones.

RICO operation, Extortion.

Is it wrong that I want Hobby Lobby to shrug and close its doors forever?

That's the wrong approach. Putting eighteen thousand people out of work is not going to crash the economy, make the voters angry with Obama, start a revolution, improve the economy, anything. All it will achieve is to make a lot of people suffer. Not just the 18000 who will be jobless, but also the suppliers, the craftspeople, the truck-drivers, the owners of the real estate where HL leases space, and a thousand other interconnected businesses and services.

The Greens should fire all their employees and hire them back as independent contractors. They are not legally compelled to provide health insurance for contractors (yet).

They could just cut everybody's hours back below 30 hours per week, but that would still harm their employees. I still like the contractor idea better. I'm a contractor and it works fine for me--at least I have a job.

I think by spring you’ll start to see things tank. As people realize that Obamacare is going to be very expensive through the state exchanges, and it’s going to limit choices for businesses’ health insurance, people are going to pull back investments.

Whether that’s June or September...look for a big GOP comeback in the 2014 elections. Reports of the death of the Republican party have been greatly exaggerated...just don’t tell NBC.
