Well they are gone. Optisolar who let Stacie go in January told there remaining production employees today to come to work on Monday and get the paperwork for the WARN act and clean out their lockers.
Stimulus package I guess it only is good if you are a BIG company (can you say AIG?). If you are one of the gotta put food on the table folks in this country the government could not give a fuck. If you make a $100K salary or greater they will bail you out. If you just pay your taxes your SOL.
WOW change! I guess it means you get it up the keister from a black man from Chicago rather then a white coke head from Texas. Either way I feel the pain of a stretching sphincter. But the first time unemployment stats for last month showed a drop in the number of first week claims last month. How many of those are like so many of us and are about OUT of benefits after getting laid of, picked up somewhere else only to get laid off again? That way it does not show on the week one stats? BUT the number of unemployed in the US is at its highest rate in a generation or more. I guess we need to start bailing out the ship of State with a fork for all the good it is going to do.
Anyone else read Wolf and Iron by Gordon R. Dickson? (If your local I am finished it and you can borrow it) The parallels with our current situation are just damn scary! Thinking I need to buy a gun to feed my family.
