Give it time, they're all going under, people are sick to death of the Green Bull Shit.
Every thing Green is going to wither and die, mark my word.

They have to lay people off to qualify for government subsidy? The irony is thick...

Gosh, are they not a union?  How are those poor employees going to lose their jobs?
