I don't care if it's a $10 budget or you add a bunch of zeros at the end of the number. It's HIS freaking business, it's a private company. You don't like it - then go buy him out. It's turnkey as it sits and you can keep the place running.
    Are you complaining about the moral standard that you think he has to provide for his employees? What moral standard is that? The Golden Rule?
    Actually, no. He is firing these people because he EXPECTS that the government will force him to spend more money. It's speculation. Imagine if global employment fluxed based on theories like the oil industry...

    It's either going to be the same or more tax - not speculation but a 1 or 0. Seeing the last 4 years of how unfriendly the administration is to non-green businesses in general I'd say his 'speculation' is dead on. Seems to me that he's just giving his employees a "just in case/warning" to have a back up plan. Once again - it's his company to do as he pleases. If he just decides tomorrow to shut it all down and go hang out on the beach or at his mansion then WTF - it's HIS company.

    The dude runs a hotel. Not an energy company. Not a car manufacturer. A fucking hotel.

    hundreds of thousands of people are supposed to get layoff notices in anticipation of the budget being slashed.

    Speculation... All of these military contract company's stocks are dropping.
    Military units are stoc... HOARDING Supplies in anticipation of a complete lack of support.

    Private companies are projecting layoffs in anticipation of Obamacare

    OMG the Military is going to have to stop wasting shit... You mean the spending spree might have to end? You mean the Federal Reserve (private bank) can't lend as much money to us with interest to keep up B.S. wars we're not meant to win going? Heroin prices might go up if we can't afford to secure the poppy fields. ITEOTWAWKI
