Yup .. the Atlanta OccuIdiot movement decided to take their oh-so-meaningful and well thought out protests to the AT&T building earlier this week to protest some layoffs.  AT&T is eliminating several hundred jobs in what we could call its landline division because more and more people are abandoning landline telephones and sticking with wireless.  In my Atlanta home there is no landline telephone.  I have telephone service through Comcast and The Queen and I both have our wireless phones.  That’s it. 

Well here come to scruffy and unkempt occutards to invade the AT&T offices (where people actually work) to protest the layoffs and to demand that these people keep their jobs.

Well I have a simple message for these mindless proggies of the Occutard movement.  Those jobs belong to AT&T, not to the people who were performing them.  It is AT&T that invested the capital in infrastructure that necessitated the hiring of those people.  Those people work at those AT&T jobs only so long as they perform a service actually needed by AT&T.  When that service is no longer needed the job created by AT&T is eliminated and the person performing that job must look for another one. 

We could dispense with a lot of asinine demonstrations in this country if the Occustools simply understood that the jobs belong to the employers, not the employees.
