according to a new report from Target 8, that same electric battery company President Obama spoke at in 2010 is an unmitigated disaster and a shameful waste of tax dollars. For starters, there’s no work to be done. Employees, who are being paid with the $150 million the Department of Energy awarded the plant, claim they show up and sit around because there’s nothing to do. It has gotten to the point where employees spend most of their time playing cards and/or board games and watching movies to keep themselves entertained.
“There would be up to 40 of us that would just sit in there during the day,” one former LG Chem employee Nicole Merryman, who said she quit in May, told Target 8.
“We were given assignments to go outside and clean; if we weren’t cleaning outside, we were cleaning inside. If there was nothing for us to do, we would study in the cafeteria, or we would sit and play cards, sit and read magazines,” she added. “It’s really sad that all these people are sitting there and doing nothing, and it’s basically on taxpayer money.”
Two current employees claim the idling among workers continues because there’s nothing else to do.
“There’s a whole bunch of people, a whole bunch, filling their time with card games and board games,” one these current employee said.
“There’s no work, no work at all. Zero work,” another current employee added. “It is what it is. What do you do when there’s no work?”
Obama has wasted tens of billions on green energy. Wasted. And some of you clowns think this guy should get re-elected.....
Kind of like giving oil company government subsidy while making record profits.
End all the abuse and fraud.
There are good, smaller oil companies that need that subsidy, to create jobs and be profitable. There are good defense contracts that keep us safe, at a cheaper rate then traditional military does. And there are green employers who make money and do good work.
