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.
Well you're a liberal so obviously you can't be wrong


Never mind how the article goes on to say how Murray Energy has incurred in environmental atrocities in the past, specifically by spilling coal slurry into nearby creeks... and how the company has donated over $1 million to Republican candidates in the last 5 years. So this had nothing to do with Obama's re-election, except that maybe under Obama, Murray's company will be held accountable for any further environmental "mishaps". Not to mention the fact that Obama will of course emphasize the maximization of natural gas, a cheaper, cleaner fuel.

So fuck it. Rather than restructure or adapt, like other companies do... let's just fire all these bastards. After all, that is what sound business practices would dictate. Right Lyle?
