A few months ago I told my employer to go get weighed over their economic abuse to their employees.
I already had the purchase of a local business in the works. Remodel is done. I've hired a total of 13 people in the last 2 weeks - hoping to keep 10 but all 13 if they work out. Lowest pay is $15 an hour for the couple of part timers. Average is $19. That's pretty good money out here in eastern Kentucky.
One of my vendors say they had to add on 2 more staff because of our account. Another one has hired a part timer because of our account.
Not to mention the construction guys who did our build out and the local businesses who will benefit from our foot traffic right in town.
We did it without tax abatements, government subsidies or hand outs (other than the norm of good roads, reliable utilities, education for the kids etc)
By contrast Mitch's policies have put 100's of 1000's in Kentucky out of work and pushed lots more middle class workers down below the middle class.
Don't pat me on the back - that's not why I'm posting. This was not that hard. Any moron can do what I'm doing if they have the will. My reason for posting is to contrast the fact Mitch is a cancer.
