Coal company fires 150 workers in response to Obama re-election
NBC News ^ | 11/9/12 | Allison Linn

In the agenda, he predicted the total destruction of the coal industry by as early as 2030. He said conditions for his business would deteriorate because of more regulation and taxes, weaker economic activity and reduced energy pricing.

In the prayer, Murray wrote, in part:

“The American people have made their choice. They have decided that America must change its course, away from the principals of our Founders. And, away from the idea of individual freedom and individual responsibility. Away from capitalism, economic responsibility, and personal acceptance.”

He concluded by asking God for forgiveness for the layoff decisions.

“Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corporation for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build. We ask for your guidance in this drastic time with the drastic decisions that will be made to have any hope of our survival as an American business enterprise.”

Ain’t no kidding about that.

The more people private industry lays off, the more they turn to government and vote Democrat. When people make good money working for private industry, they vote Republican. Voters are not going to bite the hand that feeds them. Voters vote Republican during good times.

Expect the homeless to vanish soon.

I don't mean from the front page, that happens whenever a (D) is in the WH, I mean vanish vanish.

They can vote every bit as much when they are dead, and the (D)s no longer need live bodies for the fig-leaf of fair elections.

Think you'll finally do something about your Jews, as we did with ours?

What... did you do?

We put them in cattle-cars and shipped them east... always east.

To the Ukraine... to the resettlement camps?

To resettle them... in the air.

Excuse me?

To turn them into smoke. [twirls finger in the air] They burned the bodies after they gassed them. They had to, so nobody would ever know.

Whats even worse is Darden Restaurants CEO is a huge 0bama supporter/bundler and received waivers from 0bamacare.
He is also going to reduce many employees hours to under 30 hours so he doesn’t have to provide healthcare.

That's why I created the WRIST category:

Worker Reduction In Scheduled Time (to below ObamaCare threshold)

Catchy name, no?

Avoiding paying for ObamaCare? It's all in the WRIST...

Yes.

You also need one for Employee Converted To Independent Contractor (ECTIC?).

Lord only knows that the part-time and Form 1099 sectors of employment are going to see massive increases.
