Comes the story of the business that refuses to hire until O’Bullshit is gone! Now, the story itself is quite clear, and there’s no arguing with the owners logic. Within the comments, however, are some true “Pearls of Wisdom”, and I’m going to grab one that you know, and have always KNOWN, is a true fact:

That has been our company policy since 2010. In early 2009 we had to do layoffs because of the obama economy and every known obama voter on the floor was either laid off or fired. Now we only hire known conservatives who are recommended by other employees. Why? because when we fired all the libs it made a huge impact on the companies bottom line. It is hard to believe that it was not noticed before the lay offs but afterwards we realized, they included every problem child in the organization. Some were habitually tardy and absent, others were insurance abusers and some were just plain lazy but now that they are gone, our company runs much more efficiently. if you own a business, take a look at your least valuable employees and I bet you will find they are mostly all democrats!

This company has the RIGHT to make that statement and take that action, just as Boeing has the RIGHT to move to South Carolina, a “right to work” state, and not be saddled with unions. As opposed to Pisslousy’s screed that they must have unions, or they must remain where they must have unions. What kind of communist crap is that?

    I worked in a manufacturing plant in Corvallis, OR for many years before they closed the doors in 2003. I watched lots of people come and go. After thinking about it in context of this post, of the people I remember, the work ethic correlation is about 90% accurate. The ones who worked hard and excelled were the conservatives and the whiny, lazy troublemakers were the liberals. There were only a few exceptions. But there was no company “policy” that sorted people out in that fashion. Maybe if there had been the place would still be going.

    Roger that. Sometimes the truth is no further away than a mark on the paper.

    Can’t say as I blame the guy.

    This is a conundrum for a lot of small businesses as they bump up against regulations that kick in with a certain number of employees hired. These kick in at numbers of employees like 25 and 50 depending on the regulation so in a lot of cases the cost isn’t just the 25th or 50th person but the incremental cost being added to all who are currently on the payroll.

    This plus the tax and regulatory uncertainty(i.e. all the regs being written by HHS, the new unaccountable consumer protections board set up by Dodd-Frank and an out of control EPA) and the continual vilification of anyone who seeks a profit for selling their goods and services as “greedy” have many business owners being circumspect in making any kind of business decisions especially in light of the Boeing property confiscation( and that’s what it is a confiscation of property rights).

    If the government can stop a company like Boeing and essentially tell them they do not have the right to run their company as they see fit in order to bestow those rights on a politically favored constituency then private property no longer exists.

    We are all at risk to a predatory and lawless government. Keep in mind all of what you’re seeing is not new as the krypto fascist FDR pulled many of the same stunts and spewed much the same slander.

    Even the patron saint of government intrusion John Maynard Keynes felt there were limits to this type obloquy. From The Forgotten Man”; Amity Shlaes. I have placed some explanatory comments in brackets[]. It is a narrative on arbitrary government intrusion using the now discredited “high wage theory” as it’s focal point.

    A French trade expert, Jaques Stern, happened to be in the United State that autumn. He looked more closely at specific industries but came to the same general conclusions. Taxes were designed to punish risk [i.e risk implies higher rate of return FXP] but permitted little reward.The railroad industry had to increase salaries because of the new labor laws [That would be the self same NLRA as Boeing is being trampled under: FXP] but had not been able to raise it’s rates [railroad rates were tightly controlled by the government, this is much the same as the current Obamacare squeeze on Health Insurance companies;FXP]. As Stern pointed out, these industries consumed one-fifth of all the steel and wood produced in the United States, so the slowdown hurt others. Utilities, of course, were not hiring either. The next year Keynes would offer a similar conclusion in a letter to Roosevelt. Keynes saw no use, he wrote, “in chasing utilities utilities around the the lot every other week”.[ Of course there was. Roosevelt's ambition, through quasi governmental and constitutionally dubious entities such as the TVA sought to nationalize the electric power industry through demagoguery and what we used to call cut-throat competition. A strategy that is illegal and altogether unviable unless you are a government that has the ability to coerce revenue at the point of a gun and alternatively print money;FXP] Roosevelt should nationalize them if the time was right, but if it wasn’t, he should “make peace on liberal terms” The recession wasn’t merely monetary. “it’s a mistake to think that businessmen are more immoral than politicians,”.

    In this same letter Keynes sets out the basic concept that businessmen are by nature eager to please and that constantly beating them with rhetoric was counterproductive to the ostensible goal of “recovery”(Of course what we know now of FDR it was never about recovery but about perpetual political power as he and his brain trust purused their collectivist designs)

    Businessmen have a different set of delusions from politicians, and need, therefore, different handling. They are, however, much milder than politicians, at the same time allured and terrified by the glare of publicity, easily persuaded to be ‘patriots’, perplexed, bemused, indeed terrified, yet only too anxious to take a cheerful view, vain perhaps but very unsure of themselves, pathetically responsive to a kind word. You cold do anything you liked with them, if you would treat them (even the big ones), not as wolves or tigers, but as domestic animals by nature, even though they have been badly brought up and not trained as you would wish. It is a mistake to think that they are more immoral than politicians. If you work them into the surly, obstinate, terrified mood, of which domestic animals, wrongly handled, are so capable, the nation’s burdens will not get carried to market; and in the end public opinion will veer their way.

    It would appears that we may have reached that point.

    It may yet get very ugly, restoring this nation. I hope not, but I do not hold much hope there.
