Close the Casinos?! But then people will not gamble their money away and we won't get to create fancy gov't programs to keep them in their homes.

I love the way they put "fired," because you know darn well it wasn't "fired" like if one of us got fired from a job. I'm sure the CEO will be just fine, IF NOT BETTER now that he/she is "fired."

I am sure the CEO will get a nice "parting gift" that 699 others will not get. I would like to see some investigation into what is being done for all these employees. Are they all being treated the same? I doubt it.

There is an article on AOL News about some groups filing a complaint about the original Surgeon General's Report on secondhand smoke being greatly exagerated to enact these smoking bans that are costing real people their real jobs. http://news.aol.com/article/four-groups-file-...

Our economy is in the the tanks, 700 people losing their jobs over smoking is insane. I am pretty sure these people would rather work in a smoking environment than not work at all.

It is jobs and people working that will right the economy, not the government throwing money at the problem, they only make it worse every day.
