When the recession hit, this company, Marvin Windows and Doors, chose not to lay off workers. It cut back hours and production and bonuses and cut benefits, but it chose to not lay anyone off.
I can’t help but believe that if most American companies adopted the attitudes and policies of Marvin Windows and Doors, there would have been no recession, and unemployment would be below 5%, and all of us would be more prosperous.
And then you have idiots like Bradlee Dean. It is roundly depressing that we live in a world in which it might be necessary to explain to some people what is wrong with burning witches.
Michelle Bachmann, by the way, is on the record: “the separation of church and state is a myth.”
