don’t worry, they have the Right to come to America!
They take advantage of cheap labor, (if the severance is $1900 (a years' pay) , $5 a day must not be so awful bad in that economy)
But the tire plant happens to be in the middle of a war zone (so to speak) and I'd imagine the houses (that Firestone probably built) are beingt burned down
So Firestone regretfully ousts anyone left in the house, gives them daddy's pay for a year, a sack of rice and burns the house down
yeah ... so ?
OK ... for those that may be accusing me of "fleshing out" a story ... (I didn't click any links, btw) .. the article doesn't appear to do much more than slam big business.
They’re just “doing the jobs Americans won’t do...”
The average income in Liberia is $436. That would make $1,900 a boat load of money. Imagine an insurance policy 4 times your salary.

Firestone is NOT an American company. It was effectively bankrupted by the Ford Explorer tire failure problem, and was bought out buy the Japanese tire company Bridgestone in 1988.
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
Isn’t Firestone the one I read about recently who built an Ebola clinic for patients and was treating them successfully?
Firestone Did What Governments Have Not: Stopped Ebola In Its Tracks
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......
(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Okay... Pretty sure "thrown" is not what happened, how about "escorted to a facility equipped to handle orphans" like they would have done anywhere in the industrialized world. So what are they suppose to do with them? Why is it their responsibility to raise them? Are they just suppose to let children live in the homes forever now that their parents are dead?
WTH are these people expecting them to do in this situation?? And on another note mentioned - Do they have any idea of what would happen if they paid their employees a US minimum wage, and the PROBLEMS that would incur? Have they thought about what it is to make them all instant millionaires (relatively) who worked for them? Good grief some people haven't got a damn clue as to what the real world would do if they ever had a magic wand to waive and create the Utopia they think they could bring.
I hope not.
