LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas) — A Las Vegas business owner with 114 employees fired 22 workers today, apparently as a direct result of President Obama’s re-election.
“David” (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) told Host Kevin Wall on 100.5 KXNT that “elections have consequences” and that “at the end of the day, I need to survive.”
Here’s an excerpt from the interview. Click the audio tab below to hear even more from this compelling conversation: . . . I’m just one guy with 114 employees — well was 114 employees — watch what happens in the next six months. The Dow alone lost 314 points today. There’s a tsunami coming and if you didn’t think this election had consequences, just wait.”

I’ve stopped pretending that Obama voters have anything useful to offer. I can’t really be friends with any of them since I can’t stomach their views. All I see them as now are potential targets once SHTF, especially since they undoubtedly think Obama will save them from the coming collapse, and thus have not prepared.
Please wear a nice shade of commie red or an Obama tee, a-holes, so I know who to shoot first.
Yes. But remember, over 30 hours a week is considered “fulltime” under ObamaCare.
Executive Order 10-289 (excerpt)
In the name of the general welfare, to protect the people’s security, to achieve full equality and total stability, it is decreed for the duration of the national emergency that:
Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board( Bureau of Labor), such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.
Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.

I wonder whether some of them would welcome being laid off, since then they can get "free stuff."
My real fear is that things will get marginally better, and that Obama and Liberalism will get the credit. That would be a disaster.
OK, 49 employees at 29.5 hours a week.
Obama & his sycophants need to look up “Chesspiece fallacy”.
People are going to change their behaviors to avoid the pain inflicted by his dummass policies.
QE3 has no limit this time. Oboma can print all the money he wants at any time (and he is). Right now, they're printing 4 billion a month to keep the welfare recipients fed and keep the unemployment numbers down (well, at least until the election was over).
Oboma screwed up bad. Real bad. Our country, if it survives, is going to be in shambles for generations. It was really, really stupid for the American voters to put a social parasite in charge of the countries wallet.
This sort of thing is going to be happening a LOT more, and the unemployment rate won’t stop at 9%.
This will not be a “double-dip” recession that “just happened”. What we have been facing and living through is a DEPRESSION, though none will call it by its name. And it was engineered, with the express intent of creating a crisis so large, so pervasive, and so pernicious, that economic collapse was the only possible outcome.
If anybody recalls the track of the first two terms of FDR and the days of the establishment of the New Deal, an exercise in the micromanagement of business and industry by government fiat, first the Republican opponent in 1936 was shamelessly demonized, resulting in an overwhelming defeat, then in FDR’s second term, by 1938 the economy was MUCH worse off than it was in 1932, when it was already a depression.
Only the fact that Great Britain was ramping up to resist Nazi Germany’s expansion into military conquest of all of Europe, and needed HUGE quantities of war materials (for which they were hauling vast amounts of silver bullion to the US to reimburse US manufacturers). FDR’s New Deal economy could get the additional capital to continue their distribution of largesse to the “downtrodden” masses here in the US. The excess production that was STILL rolling off the farmlands at depressed prices could now be sold profitably to the British and the Empire members around the world. Eventually, with the trigger of Pearl Harbor, an unbelievably massive army could be conscripted to fight the “Axis”. Those young men, and a surprising number of young women, the “Greatest Generation”, were sent off to fight and die in one of the most cynical exercises of policy to dispose of “excess” persons otherwise unemployable ever to be exerted in America.
Remember, we still have conscription law in place, and there is a threat looming as large as the “Axis” powers hanging over the world.
And the Current Occupant of the White Hut has indicated that if push comes to shove, he will take their side.
The Muslin Brotherhood has a sure partner.
Israel, not so much.
I’m canceling my health club membership shortly. It has to be done in writing, so I’ll add something like “It’s the Obama effect”.
Who is John Galt?
“People are going to change their behaviors to avoid the pain inflicted by his dummass policies.”
Exactly.
“Four more years!”
In a major Government Site I work in will layoff 1 in 4 Contractors after the first of the year. No one knows yet who gets the axe. Eight thousand government and contractors work in the building.
I’ll be firing my personal trainer tomorrow.
THIS should be on billboards, TSgt.
Massive layoffs will give 0bama are reason to start nationalizing companies...which was the point of Direct 10-289.
I can’t believe we’re about to go through hell without a leader.
Is it possible for a government outsider to rally and lead the country?
They will. It may take a while but they will get theirs. The only problem is they do not have the intelligence to realize that it was their own actions that led to their downfall.Their last conscience thought will bee,”It is all Bush’s fault”.
With all the new employment/healthcare regulations coming, “David” will have to staff-up just to handle the paperwork.
so the businesses should do their firing/layoffs/closing NOW to avoid being forced to stay in business IF Mr O decides to whip out his pen and write yet another Executive Order just like this one.
There is a lot they can control on this earth, but they cannot control your soul. Every individual has a choice regarding their eternal future. Hope folks remember that in the terrible times ahead.
Blessings!
I agree. If I know their political persuasion, I will not even bother with a greeting to leftists. There are many of these folks who know what will happen in this country with these kinds of destructive policies. The only explanation for their behavior is they despise this country and every value that has gone into making it great.
We are lazy creatures who do only what we need to do.
That's the key: "What we need to do"
Big events often decide such things for us, which in turn, causes us to be resourceful and find strengths and abilities we never knew we had.
Or go soft and take the easy way out...and vote for someone else to do it for us.
And here we are, having gone full circle and coming back to the beginning. Who didn't see that coming?
