THIS is the money quote, folks:

“company police were deployed to enforce a “no visitors” rule”

They cut themselves off from the outside, until they got the virus under control.

HELLO OBAMA/DEMOCRATS...
ARE YOU LISTENING???

[bigbob]

I guess that’s where the rubber meets the road

[DannyTN]

When the rubber hits the road, I guess Firestone is ready!!!

[Mears]

The dreaded private sector hits a home run again.

[DocRock]

Those filthy, mean capitalist taking advantage of those poor workers and their families for blood money.... wait... you mean they didn’t?

By all accounts, Firestone’s huge farm — apparently the largest contiguous rubber-tree farm on Earth — is a paradise compared with the destitution and havoc across the rest of war-torn Liberia. “In a country where children walk to school over muddy paths, high-school students here board big yellow school buses, winding over country roads,” the Journal reported. “Electricity flows from a private dam. Water towers, telephone poles, speed-limit signs and brick homes — all exceedingly rare in tropical Africa — stare out over mowed hillsides that resemble the landscape outside Nashville, Tenn., where Firestone’s head office is based.”

It's called the benefits of WESTERN CIVILIZATION, for any liberal pukes who might be listening in.

I have it on good authority that bombing of AA batteries in Vietnam was denied because they existed on American owned rubber plantations. What a difference forty years makes.

Somebody send this to O’Really.

[Jet Jaguar]

Bump

[lulu16]

I sent this on to others. Thank-you so much. Free market capitalism is compassionate and smart. Firestone, I’m looking at you for my next set of white walls.

Let’s try and get this to the attention of the left wing stenographers.

Ping...

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread

[NY.SS-Bar9]

8,500 employees and their 71,500 dependents

8.4 dependents per employee?

[DH]

This will NEVER happen in the USSA because it is......ready for this..........RACIST!

/Sarc

[bgill]

obola will never hear of this because it’s not being reported on tv. Good job Firestone.

[moovova]

“...the far more costly and totalitarian schemes being pursued by the Obama administration...”

Ruh-roh...NPR is gonna be on the hotseat with the Obola admin.

Bring Out Your Dead

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...

From NPR? Wow.
