They may be losing their jobs two days before Christmas, but on Wednesday 500 autoworkers at a closing GM plant in Janesville, Wisconsin got tickets to see country-gospel band The Oak Ridge Boys. The band said they wanted to “bring some joy” to the laid off workers.

1. The Oak Ridge Boys are republican jerks.

They backed the criminal in the White House and McNutjob. This is a cynical ploy to look like they give a shit.

2. that will be appreciated up there in janesville

although they still get decent benefits for the next few years after that they are screwed. guys and gals that were left are going to find it difficult if not impossible to find jobs at their age.

to many american workers have watched their factories torn down or abandoned to a slow death...

3. Since they fired the weird guy with the giant beard, this is the only way they can fill seats. n/t
