So apparently, there were threats from various businesses, corporate CEOs, or other delusional land monkeys that if Obama won, then they were going to lay people off. Wow, how very very rude of you! Way to be freaking paranoid. Seriously, I am certain that some point in the future we will be annihilated by another large space rock. That still doesn't mean, I think we should cease doing much and sit around on our porches and wait. As for Papa John's who I used to acquire food at, now since I have discovered that some of my very own customers who work for you, are getting hosed by you, you suck. In future I am going to Brunos for my pizza...thank you very much.
- Murray Energy Corp. CEO Robert Murray read a prayer, and then "laid off 54 people at American Coal, one of his subsidiary companies, and 102 at Utah American Energy, blaming a 'war on coal' by the administration of President Barack Obama.'"
- A business owner in Williamson, Georgia told C-Span that he laid off three employees ("who voted for Obama") and cut his remaining employees' hours from 30 to 25 per week due to his fear of Obamacare.
- The owners of the West Cinema and the Pink Sugar boutique in Cedartown, Georgia say they are closing those businesses because they anticipate "higher taxes and more regulations during Obama's second term of office."
- The CEO of Papa John's Pizza said that due to Obamacare, it's "likely that some franchise owners would reduce employees' hours in order to avoid having to cover them."
- Atlantic writer James Fallows has been engaged in a back-and-forth on his blog with a reader and business owner who says that he will lay off workers due to Obama's reelection.
- There has, of course, been much whining and many threats of layoffs by business owners on Twitter. For example.
