Election over let the layoff start: Boeing to cut 30% | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 5327118 11/08/2012 10:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most of the layoffs cite here were announced months ago. They have no bearing on who got elected, short of idiot management fearing a healthcare plan that hasn't even been drafted in full yet. What this really is, for those of you not to crazy and or derpish to see it, is a convenient scapegoat to keep the heat away from those doing the firing. |

These are all government "workers". Yep. If Romney had won they would be hiring and all the free market capitalist 'do it on your own' rebublicans would be cheering. This country didn't become wealthy from a population of leaches... Yes it did. We stole from the rest of the world with the federal reserve note as the reserve currency. We are a nation of parasites. You obviously don't know your history bubba. This nation was wealthier before the federal reserve existed. That wealth was legitimately created by our ancestors. The federal reserve stole that real wealth and redistributed it to their mostly foreign cronies. America was not the parasite, America was sucked dry by mostly foreign parasites. |

There are several others that have been holding out that I know of... hoping on an Obama/Obamcare defeat. Those 2 medical practices are a total of 12 physicians and about 40-50 support staff in total... not to mention our lost revenue, etc. I don't know how many more there will be, but I'm expecting the small-mid size medical practices to start folding up left and right.
