Georgia: In Emory, after 70 years Evans Fine Food shutdown.

Idaho: Hungry people have increased in The Gem State as demonstrated by the fact that the Idaho Foodbank Fund (funded by donations from taxpayers) has supported seven more local food banks than last year!  The evil Right to Work (you over) ‘lawmakers’ made it harder to qualify for federally funded food aid (aka SNAP or food stamps), but created a local taxpayer supported Idaho Foodbank Fund.  Since then evil pro-government weenie heads pointed to the resulting drop in food stamp (SNAP) distributions as proof Idahoans weren’t going hungry! I wonder what those Right to Work (you over) ‘elected’ lawmakers are doing with that federal food stamp funding?   Idaho’s version of ObamaCare has directly caused a death. Jenny Steinke died in Idaho Falls,  her husband Jason had just gotten insurance, but it didn’t go into effect until 01 September, the very day Jenny suffocated to death due to her asthma.  Jason stated that ObamaCare is “just not affordable” and bemoaned his wife’s death “I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.”  Jason’s mother Cella describes Idaho’s version of ObamaCare as nothing more than “death by poverty.”

Indiana: Columbus based diesel engine maker Cummins announced it must eliminate 2-thousand jobs before the end of the year!  CEO Tom Linebarger says there ain’t no gott-damned economic recovery: “We are taking difficult but necessary actions to lower costs in the face of weak demand in many of our markets.

Failed State Michigan: Midland based lithium ion battery maker XALT laid off another 106 employees (35 in September) blaming the failure of its Chinese customer who so far hasn’t been buying all the batteries it ordered back in March.  This is what happens there’s only one global customer with the money to buy your product, and their economy starts crashing.

Minnesota: South Central College eliminating five jobs.  Even with a piddly reduction in tuition college administrators expect enrollment to decline by 3.5%.

South Dakota: In Sturgis, the Whitewood Campground and Event Center now bankrupt busted and shutdown.

Tennessee: After 15 years Vaudeville Cafe shutdown due to “financial burdens”.

Texas:  12 Del Taco restaurants shutting down in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro, 218 jobs gone before Xmas!  Administrators said “Del Taco has made this decision for financial reasons.”, however the real reason is the company has a new owner from the Failed State of Illinois (Larry Levy) and he’s crashing and burning the burrito joint.

Despite being abandoned by their false god they still ask him to bless you. Perhaps it’s really a curse? Willkommen zu Amerika, Hündin!  Hey, I can be a jerk if you can choose to remain blind! I’m constantly on the verge of being homeless myself, so screw you Amerika!

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) no longer issues mass layoff reports: “On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the- board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.”

God’s immigrant help NGO Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People is warning of increased illegal immigration to the United States caused by the crashing & burning of the Honduran economy.  It’s partly blamed on a crackdown on illegal drug trafficking which has revealed even multi-national corporations and the government are involved, like Jaime Rolando Rosenthal Oliva owned Grupo Continental-Continental Bank.  Of Romanian ancestry Rosenthal Olivia got his business and civil engineering degrees from MIT in the U.S. (just like so many other evil people)!  The latest layoffs involve 7-thousand government employees!  At least 1.5-million Hondurans are currently unemployed and more layoffs are expected.

Florida: Tampa based restaurant chain owner Bloomin’ Brands is in trouble (as usual), but so much so this time that investor analyst Zacks has told shareholders to dump their stocks in the corporation.  Stocks of Bloomin’ Brands downgraded to Sell status, the company failed to show any significant increase in revenues in its last report but is still considered to have too much debt.  The debt is probably from all the new restaurants Bloomin’ Brands has opened in the past year.  The food corporation controls restaurant chains known as Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, and Roy’s.  Interesting side note, several of Bloomin’ Brands restaurants have suffered fires this year; the Outback Steakhouse at the Meridian Crossroads plaza in Meridian, Idaho (blamed on corroded gas line).  Then two months later another Meridian, Idaho, Outback Steakhouse caught fire, this time at the Bonita Crossroads Shopping Center, firefighters said it “seemed to be electrical”.  The Carrabba’s in Suntree, Florida, caught fire last week with initial reports saying the fire started on the roof around an air conditioning unit.  In June, the West Springfield, Massachusetts, Carrabba’s caught fire twice, first initial reports said the fire somehow started in between the metal and rubberized roofing materials around a vent fan, then the next morning the kitchen caught on fire!  It’s not just fires, the Richland, Washington, Bonefish Grill was vandalized with a blowtorch in June.

ISU located in Pocatello, Idaho, lost 671 students since last year!

Idaho: Yet again, Idaho State University reports crashing enrolment (what I call the Disappearing Students Syndrome affecting schools across the U.S.).   This year’s admission (as in they’re admitting they lost students, because in recent years past they lied and said enrollment was up) stated that they lost 671 students compared to Fall 2014!

Iowa:  In Keokuk, after 88 years (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) Johnson-Schmidt Menswear shutting down as soon as the inventory is gone,  because the owner says he can’t eat it “Because it doesn’t taste good with salt and pepper”.

Kansas: Cell phone company Sprint is eliminating jobs, but now it says it doesn’t have the money to cover the two weeks of severance originally promised.  As a result they will cut it down to one week of severance for all layoff notifications made after January 2016.  After 16 years E.G. Geller shutting down their Country Club Plaza shoe store in January 2016, blaming crashing sales caused by most of the Plaza’s tenants shutting down.

Maryland: After 32 years The Yule Cupboard shutting down before Thanksgiving, blaming “…a smaller clientele. Today’s retail world is so different.

We buy what we see, we don’t buy from a catalog…”  In Cross Keys, after 40 years the Jones & Jones boutique shutting down by December.

Failed State Michigan: What automotive industry recovery?  General Motors (GM) eliminating another 5-hundred jobs as it shuts down its 2nd shift in the Orion Assembly factory!  GM administrators say they must “align” their production to meet demand.  The city of Detroit has already eliminated 1-thousand 1-hundred water department employees and now news reports say another 1-hundred will be let go!  In Kalamazoo, after 50 years Wayside West sports bar shutdown.  Local news reports blame a shooting that happened last year, but in reality the property was sold-off.

Minnesota: After 115 years God refuses to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ First Presbyterian Church in Wilmont.  The Rapture has resulted in 12 members being Left Behind.

Nebraska: In Omaha, God refuses to stop ObamaCare from forcing Catholic Health Initiatives from eliminating 60 jobs.

New York:  Premier Laser Spa of Albany now chapter 11 bankrupt, local news reports say the company hasn’t been able to pay its advertising debts.  TD Bank revealed it will shutdown its Glens Falls office. The dumb administrators opened too many offices too close together.

Oregon: In Prineville, Woodgrain Mill shutting down 55 remaining jobs lost.  The mill has been struggling since last year’s roof collapse, which forced 2-hundred people out of work!   

Pennsylvania: State budget cuts forcing pre-Kindergarten programs to shutdown.  Local news reports say some pre-K operations are trying to stay open by asking employees to work for free!  In Jim Thorpe, after surviving The Great Depression Dugan’s General Store cannot handle this so called ‘recovery’ from The Great Recession and will shutdown.  News reports revealed the current owners have been floating the store using lottery winnings they won back in 2000!

Zions Bank branch in Pocatello, Idaho.

Utah: Mormon Zions Bank reported what they think is good news, they’ve increased loans to small businesses in Idaho (71% increase) and Utah (29% increase).  Here’s why it’s bad news; those loans are to help companies make payroll, in other words companies still can’t generate enough revenue to pay their employees with cash.   Zions Bank administrators claim their debt financing of regional businesses created more than 5-hundred jobs!  Jobs created by pure debt is not a good thing, debt financing of things like payroll is one of the main reasons Corporate America is in such financial trouble.  In Cottonwood Heights, police are being blamed for the shutdown of the 25 years old Canyon Inn.   The owner said he’s tired of cops intimidating his customers into staying away: “I lost, they won.”-Jim Stojack

Washington DC:  JUST A FEW OF THE POTENTIAL JOB LOSSES DUE TO PROPOSED 2017 MILITARY BASE SHUTDOWNS
