Around 90 employees are being laid off from the Teco Coal Corporation.

Director of Personnel, Paul Matney, says no mines are shutting down but they are reducing their manpower and staffing, which will reduce some production.

Matney said that the layoffs are at several locations and are the result of the economic conditions of the coal market.

He says more information will be released Friday.

This is what America voted for. And Obamacare hasn’t even kicked in yet. I just looked at our open enrollment for our insurance next year. It is NOT the same plan that I had before Obamacare was passed. Higher premiums. Lower coverage. Higher deductible. And beginning next year, my FSA amount has been cut considerably. And this is what America voted for.

The next shoe to fall will be the wholesale retirement of doctors over 60 when ObamaCare kicks in in 2014. Happily, that coincides with the off-year elections.

The two doctors in our family will be quitting their practices rather than work for the federal government. This is not what they trained for. One specializes in elder care, the other is an oncologist who specializes in bladder cancer. You can’t replace these people with Mexican immigrants.

The OMG will dust off "Funemployed" from June 2009, thinking maybe we'll buy it this time.

Maybe we will.
