EAST CARBON, Carbon County A Utah coal company owned by a vocal critic of President Barack Obama has laid off 102 miners.
The layoffs at the West Ridge Mine are effective immediately, according to UtahAmerican Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Murray Energy Corp. They were announced in a short statement made public Thursday, two days after Obama won re-election.
The layoffs are necessary because of the president's "war on coal," the statement said. The slogan is one used frequently during the election by Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray, who was an ardent supporter of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
In its statement, UtahAmerican Energy blames the Obama administration for instituting policies that will close down "204 American coal-fired power plants by 2014" and for drastically reducing the market for coal.

I like the term "parasites" better.
I just can’t get HTML to cooperate. Could somebody cue a pic of Mr. Burns... I think he is VERY appropriate for this thread.
Good for the mine owner. I hope this happens everywhere. If
any of those miners voted R then I hope they get quickly re-employed. They should move to ND and get jobs in the
Bakken field. As for those voting D.... Twist in the wind.
“December 22th may actually be a true end of days prediction, perhaps the Mayans had seen that Obama was going to continue his destruction upon America?”

That SHTF day will much more likely occur when Bibi turns
loose the dogs of war. And he just might do it soon.
Democrat base => people unwilling to actually work for the stuff they want.
This needs to become the accepted attitude toward them.
The big question mark is -
will the SHTF slowly, or like falling off a cliff?
Wonder what will happen to our local 528 MW coal fired power plant! Many of my friends work there and there is talk of shutting it down.
blackouts will be part of the “New Normal”
makers vs takers
that was the name of a book, sounds prescient

master caste vs slave caste
If you work to support them, you are in the slave caste

walk out and it gets a little deeper at a time and then... drop off.
slow curve before the big drop
Same with the “event horizon” on a black hole.
We’re beyond being able to get out of this thing, but we’re still orbiting the rim.

exactly
it miht be unstoppable, but this bunch won’t even try
Ah, sorry the former soviet block people I work with all are very happy with the democrats/obama. Out of the 10 I know none looked unhappy on Tue/wed.
In Utah, not many, perhaps none.
