Sounds like a sound, business, humanitarian move to me.

Never mind trying to outplace these people. Never mind their needs. I'm fucking pissed off that Obama won... so I'll show HIM... I'll just fire all my own people.


"The hurricane is coming and it may damage my house... so I'll just blow the fucking thing up and not give the hurricane the satisfaction of blowing it down".

Give it up, Lyle. You know this is a bullshit move, just like all the bullshit secession talk that's going on.
Just like @Youngblood said...... epic butthurt.

LOL, you don't get it do you? As the owner of the business that is directly in the crosshairs of the President he probably tightened the belt in order to prepare his company to survive for the next 4 years. You don't run a business do you? I've met with friends and they had deals that were surefire things go belly up after the election....is it because the people are racist? Are they bitter? Well they might be bitter at the thought of a lost opportunity but they wouldn't cut off their nose to spite their face because at the end of the day their job as owner of a business is to MAKE MONEY.


But hey, I'm glad you liberals think it's all just a case of "butthurt", if that makes you feel better and keeps you feeling all warm & fuzzy on the inside as the economy slows to a grinding halt then that's fine. You call me out for generalizing when I show the guy gaming the welfare system but you're telling me that this guy who owns the Coal company and everyone else not making deals after the election is just on account of "butthurt".....that's rich man, quite funny.


No Lyle. What's funny is your notion that President Obama's first order of business on his very busy agenda is to single out and close all coal companies, regardless of what he may have said. Yes... I imagine him sitting with his Cabinet first thing in the morning after his re-election, saying: "Well boys... first things first. We need to close down all these damn coal companies. Starting with that shitty one in Ohio, what's it called..... Murray Energy?"

But you're the consumate businessman, Lyle. If you think the immediate firing of over 150 workers from a coal company is sound business practice, and has nothing to do with butthurt over Obama's re-election... then by golly, you must be right.
